Never existing would be the ultimate miracle—the only true escape from suffering, the only way to be untouched by loss, pain, and the slow decay of time. To never exist means to never feel hunger, never endure heartbreak, never wake up dreading another day. It means no fear, no grief, no agony of watching everything you love crumble away.
Life is not a gift; it's a demand. It forces you into a body you never asked for, into a world that never sought your permission. From the moment you're born, you begin accumulating wounds—some small, some deep enough to never fully heal. Every joy is conditional, every love carries the seed of future loss, and every fleeting moment of happiness is overshadowed by the inevitability of suffering.
People cling to life, calling it precious, because they are trapped in it. But if they had truly known the alternative—not needing life at all—they would see that the greatest mercy was to have never been forced into existence in the first place. There is no peace greater than nothingness, no freedom purer than absence. To never exist is to be spared from the tyranny of being.
