if everything was perfect, would you still want to live?

[qewpie]

and by perfect i mean you can be any fantasy you want to be, live in any fantasy world, have the world work the way you wish it worked.

i think i wouldn't be opposed. in a world where there is no pain or conflict, no demands. i would like to be a rock, and live for a long time. but be able to end my story anytime too.

 

[closetoyou]

yes absolutely. i dont want to live in this world because i dislike myself and my circumstances, and also feel like the world is just a deeply unjust place

 

[shampoo sniffer]

Well, yeah.

 

[TBONTB]

Yes absolutely. Of course. A solid home. My family around me. Money worries don't exist. health is healed. Ahhhhh.

For a while I would go to sleep pretending things were what I wanted them to be, it comforted me. But now I have to see things as they are, so that I can take this march forward.

It's still nice to pretend a little though

 

[_Gollum_]

No. I'd still choose non-existence because it's consciousness itself that is the problem and the source of suffering.

 

[LostZombie]

Yeah, I would stick around and learn about as much as I could for maybe 100 years, since to me learning new things is really the spice of life. I would learn how to paint, how to become a Walter White, a coder, and just have some fun too.
Then after I have my fun, I'll call it quits knowing that I enjoyed my life :)

 

[darksouls]

a world without people and atrocities would certainly be more pleasant

 

[FuneralCry]

No matter what I'd just never wish to be conscious of anything at all rather all I want is some peace, I just want to never suffer in this dreadful, cruel and torturous existence ever again, to me existence truly is the most terrible abomination and I see existence as a mistake.

For me non-existence is just all that's positive and I'll just always prefer to not exist no matter what, all I want is to be permanently unconscious, I'm always so tired of suffering and I suffer simply from being burdened with this existence, I find it so deeply undesirable to suffer in this existence in every way possible, I wish this existence was never imposed more than anything.

 

[Forever Sleep]

I'd want to know more about this 'perfect world'. If it's 'forever' then already- it isn't perfect- it doesn't allow us to change our minds and leave at some point... so- I'm already suspicious...

Do we all get free will? How does that work? Let's say I want a relationship with a gorgeous guy but, they don't like me at all. Who's free will gets sacrificed there? Are they programmed to love me? Then, they aren't real. Maybe that wouldn't matter. How quickly would it all start to feel like a simulation though? Would that be satisfying? If I could have any skill effortlessly, would there be any achievement? I just don't know really. I'd definitely prefer this world to be on an easier, less sadistic setting but, getting everything you want effortlessly? Maybe it would be like playing a game on sandbox mode. I tend to tire quite quickly of games that are too easy. It's a tricky balance.

I'd probably opt for a short trial and hope they would allow people to stay if they wanted- and, leave if they wanted. Not too much to ask if it's so perfect- surely?

That's the other problem though- how do they manage death there? It isn't perfect if people are trapped there. But, if they leave- won't others mourn them?

I suspect we aren't compatible with a perfect world- unfortunately. Our own imperfections would likely bugger it up! It's like that part in 'The Matrix' film *Spoiler Alert!* where Agent Smith says that the first Matrix was designed as a perfect world where no one suffered but, that humans couldn't accept the programme.

 

[Forveleth]

No, I am tired of existing. It does not matter what the world around me is like.

 

[FadingSnowFake]

I'm tired, but if I'm with my person again then the world should be perfect.

 

[Irisse]

For me it depends. If the world suddenly became perfect, I still wouldn't want to live due to traumatic memories and paranoia. Though if we are talking about a perfect life that had been there from the start, like Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, I wouldn't have known about pain and suffering so maybe I'd even enjoy living. But as I am now, I choose non-existence.

 

[pthnrdnojvsc]

I prefer Non-existence forever over any kind of life or existence

I don't want anything from this evil world and evil life . I mean i don't want any of the things they constantly say are so good important needed.

I do want a guaranteed way out of this hell. Those are the only things that matter to me or that I want is to avoid unbearable pain and my suicide asap. But the only reasons those matter is cause they birthed into this nightmare

But in Non-existence I don't need to avoid pain or commit suicide or do anything

I didn't ask to be brought into this hell

I will never want to live or exist under any circumstances
