Sigh.

I know there are plenty of threads about this and I know most people feel intimidated by conceptualizing an identity beyond their biological instrument due to the current inexplicability of consciousness and where it really comes from. But do you really feel like your existence is a consequence of unorganised chances of nature? Do you believe you are a result of a "what if" existential happenstance? Are you ultimately only a biological process without any performance freedom? Is your existence only tied to a chance? Is that it?
I personally don't believe in nothingness after death (even though I would prefer nothingness) because it doesn't really justifiably satisfy any existential criterion and only spews inconsistencies in it's forms of reasoning. But I personally don't understand it because I'm not aware of other people' perspectives of it and why they believe in what they believe, hence my reasons for creating this thread. I'm also curious to know, are some of your reasons for ctb-ing related somehow to your personal beliefs on death? Do you essentially believe it'll be better once you've ended your life? I hope I don't sound pejorative, I'm just curious to know if some of your reasons for ending your lives are somehow related to your beliefs about death. Because if so, I'm in the same boat.
Here are my thoughts on nothingness and what I never understood.
If it is true that when we die and we become this "nothingness" (i.e. non existence) doesn't it's surmounting non reference of time (eternity) render life's reference of time incommensurate, to that of the experience and it's ending, since eternity always is? If you die and become or unbecome into nothing, then can we say you ever existed in the first place? Doesn't existence rely on your existence to create an awareness field of it's given environment for it to be truly viable? If you cease to exist won't everything follow you since nothingness has no reference of time? That's why i never understood the concept of nothingness. I hope that makes sense. I'm sure someone could have phrased this better, but these are my messy thoughts and why I don't think there is nothingness after death. Or at least, it is not entirely for eternity, because that defeats existence itself since existence seems to be experientially seen as terminal. Hence the references of time and no time and the incommensurability of beginning and ending. It must be all repeative for it to make sense.
What do you expect after death and why?
