I envy those who are dead

[Birdie]

Because they have no worries! They don't think, don't feel... don't have to deal with this broken world anymore. Sounds awesome. All of them are at the same "place" now. Also, isn't it comforting? No matter how we live, or the way we die, we all go to the same "place" eventually. No one can escape it, not even the powerful ones. Random thoughts of the day.

 

[WornOutLife]

I envy them too.
Imagine just having no worries and not existing at all?
Must be awesome.

Although, what if there's some kind of after life in which you remembered everything? Would it suck? Would it be great? Who knows...

 

[Makko]

I suspect that we are living an afterlife now. And our pre-living selves are jealous of being what in their world counts as "dead". What we think is nothingness might just be full of new, exotic and unimaginable torment that our new afterlife selves will be subjected to, and in turn dream of being dead.

I envy them too, or could give my life to someone who wanted it. I hope that there is no reincarnation

 

[Zhontafly]

Here lies the fairness of this life...
Yes, though each alone in our dying, it's also our shared destiny.

 

[hoffnungstod]

I don't know why I have to think about it right now, maybe it sums up how I feel currently.

There is this Finnish proverb: the most important thing in life is death and not even death is particularly important.

Although, what if there's some kind of after life in which you remembered everything? Would it suck? Would it be great? Who knows...

If there's a spiritual world, I think it takes some time to get used to it... can't even imagine how it would feel to exist without a physical body, and how could we be "alive" without a brain? Is there a spiritual brain, spiritual organs? That would be the only way to be as conscious as we are here, otherwise, we'd be only "energy", with no thoughts.

Well, I think I'd feel terrible in the first days, I'd still be in pain so what was the point of taking my life? I think I'd be regretful! But it would be great to see some of my family and friends again and not having to worry about this world anymore.

i envy them a lot, especially the ones who have passed by accident not knowing it was going to happen. CTB is scary and take an immense amount of courage

i have 2 failed attempts, impulsive ones. which i have had no problem with SI. but when planning and doing it my SI is in overdrive.

 

[Computer Blue]

Whenever I hear about someone passing away, my first thought is - "lucky b@$%@&!"

I hope there is no reincarnation either. I just want to sleep in peace.

 

[Computer Blue]

I have been trying to force myself to accept reincarnation lately because it is the only thing that has a chance of bringing me peace in this life. According to "The Journey of Souls" book, nobody will force you to reincarnate but your soul will eventually be driven to do it again so you can grow. But you will able to sleep and rest as long as you wish before doing it again.

 

[Wrennie]

I envy anyone who was privileged enough to die a peaceful death in their sleep, lacking complete & utter awareness of their fate.

 

[Uselessatbest]

Me too. If I can switch with someone who has passed and didn't want die and have them take my place I totally would.

 

[PeacefulRest]

I feel like this could be a question on a suicide test: Do you envy dead people for being dead? Personally, I have good reasons for dying, and good reasons for living too. It has been a pretty good life, overall, I have to say, and I'm not especially young by the standards of this place.

But I think about dying every single day, some days stronger than others, and I think about those famous people who died young, and who died accidentally (happy birthday Steve Irwin) or from disease or intentionally by their own hand. And especially the ones who missed some of the stupidest 21st century political shit in all of history, or who missed the covid pandemic. They are the lucky ones.

Why are we so afraid to die? And yet we envy the dead?

 

[Loser47]

Me too. Wish there was some exit button I could press and be dead.

 

[OpheliasFlowers]

I envy them too. And like others have already said, I too wish I could give whatever time I have left to someone who wants to live and I will gladly take their place in death.

I do hope there's some kind of afterlife though, just so I can see my mom again.

Damn, that's like reading my own thoughts in third person. I really wish if I could meet my mother just once. After that, I won't mind fading out of existence while someone else lives off my remaining years.

 

[iwanttodie000]

I envy them too. I actually get a little jealous, but happy for them that they no longer have to battle this cruel world. I am hoping to ctb in the next few months and find my eternal peace.
