I am not sure if it is my survival instincts speaking, the thought of death often comforts me but when it is time to bite the bullet you are no longer exist. We are all going to die and there is definitely an asymmetry in life, the negative will always outweigh the positive & pain will always outweigh positives. We have been designed by evolution to feel happiness when our deprivation/pain is lifted, and the cycle continues like chasing carrots. The majority of life is mediocrity, filled with trivial moments that will never negate the pain suffered. I hate having these thoughts "what if spirituality is real and you will be reincarnated an even worse life" or "there is no coming back from this decision" it feels like my own brain is gaslighting me into living a lifelong miserable existence with zero reward.
