The universe was never necessary in the first place
When we realize that things have no everlasting existence that everything disintegrate due to decay or decrease in the physical quantity
When we also see that decay cannot serve as a foundation for lasting meaning or fulfillment
In being nothing we become free ,no more pain and suffering,no more injustice,no more unmet needs or desires
Nonexistence is preferable to any experience that includes suffering
It's better to have no needs or requirements to existences at all than to exist within a system where needs inevitably arise and often go unmet.
These biological machine we inherited from our parents are highly inadequate for the environment we find ourselves in
They were shaped by evolution, not designed for peace, contentment, or lasting harmony.
The mismatch between our needs and the world only deepens our suffering.
And with nonexistence, there is no more needing to work—no more struggle to maintain a fragile and temporary state of being.
All meaning is artificially imposed on a foundation that erodes beneath us.
We assign value to careers, relationships, achievements—but none can survive the decay they are built upon.
Hope sustains the machinery of suffering. It tells us tomorrow will be better, even when each tomorrow looks more like a repetition of same pain.
Consciousness allows us to reflect, but also to suffer uniquely—to remember pain, to imagine worse, to dread the future. A rock does not mourn. A star does not despair. Only we are cursed with the knowledge of our own decay.
To bring another life into being is to gamble with their suffering. Knowing what we know, is it not more merciful to end the cycle before it begins?
