Discussion The world should never have existed

[Crematoryy]

The world, in its genesis, carries an irremediable flaw. Evil begins in the embryonic stage, when consciousness is awakened from the nothingness in which it rested. The biological human emerges bearing a genetic inheritance that cannot be chosen. Subject to risks of malformation and unfavorable physical traits. The newborn baby is not born free; it is born condemned. Life was not a gift, it was a sentence.

Your geographical location is as important as the quality of your organic matter. The economic system in which you were inserted, and the way in which you are included, determines what resources you will have access to; what your position is in the social hierarchy; and whether you will have reproductive success. All your development has always been governed by external circumstances. The odds have always been against you; the universe never intended to create you.

I agree with the title.

There is nothing inherently "evil" about a creature which had no say in its upbringing. There is only harmful enviornments and harmful people encoding harmful patterns into those unwilling constituents.

I agree for the most part. Although free will is mostly illusory, far more than many would feel comfortable admitting, I personally believe that goes both ways. It can seem highly deterministic and rigid, and I'm not rejecting that some people were simply fucked from the start. While "free will" may exist for all in some capacity or another, a lot of people do get a seriously constrained version of it.

One could even argue it may as well not exist for some, but it's not always as absolute as it can seem at times either. I can be rather pessimistic myself, but on the off occasion, pain lies. Sometimes... at least for me. Plenty of people have crawled out of their nightmarish realities. Just as plenty more have perished unceremoniously. It's just cold, statistical reality.

Not much argument from me here. It's brutal for many. You could be born in some random bumfuck village in some third world country, have absolutely no prospect at a formal education, and then die of cholera at 13 for absolutely no good reason other than shitty luck-of-the-draw... it's tragic. All I will say, simply for the sake of a counterargument, is that even through the worst of times people have survived and overcome insurmountable odds.

Again, that's just for the sake of a counterargument, I struggle to believe it myself. I just pray that whatever God that may or may not exist have mercy on us all in the end. Whatever the case, I hope we can all find some semblance of peace and harmony soon enough.

Good luck OP.

It truly never should had and I see the existence of life as the most terrible, devastating tragedy that has just caused endless amounts of suffering, cruelty and torture with no limit as to how much agony one can feel, existence to me is the most evil, harmful abomination that just tortures existing beings all for the sake of it.

It certainly never should had existed, if existing beings weren't so cruelly burdened with this existence there was never a need for all this torture would had been prevented, for me only non-existence is positive but all I truly see as ideal is never suffering at all, to exist truly is the most terrible, undeserved punishment. To be conscious at all is always something so torturous to me, all I want is for this existence to be all gone forgotten and erased, all that existence has ever done is just cause harm, the suffering of this dreadful, deeply undesirable existence is endless, there truly is so much evil in existing.

I don't believe so. While we can't choose our circumstances, we can make decisions when we're free of the bondage of those circumstances that may be either positive or negative, moral or immoral. If you've ever experienced such an incredible thing as love, you'll agree that this world is far more than the physical, suffering, and malevolence. As to the reason of the world's coming into being, this is a metaphysical question.

As to evil, I'll say it was in me. I've done good things but I've been awful too. I've hurt a lot of people. I was not raised that way, though I wasn't really taught anything tbh. Still, it happened. About 15 years ago I was suicidal. I recovered and somehow became cruel. Perhaps all of it can be blamed on the insomnia. Idk. But why cruelty crept in is beyond me. Completely ruined my life and others. Why the world exists and why it contains forms of evil is a mystery to me

I believe that life is a mistake. And death is a gift. This world is terrible, man is terrible. I don't want to be part of all this. There is too much suffering
