Not trying to be a normie twat or a pro-life hater here. Ya know me, I want to CTB as much as most here. 45 to the brain stem for me, folks.
However, my tipsy self was thinking about the Buddha's concept of the Self and Nirvana while popping pimples, as one is wont to do when they're halfway drunk with nothing to do.
I was thinking about how the vast majority of my problems are not evils inflicted upon me, but good things that I *lack*.
I do not suffer from severe, chronic pain. Nearly all of my basic physical needs are met at all times. I am not under threat of life and death. What thwarted desires I have primarily refer to social relationships and career success.
So, going back to the concept of lack - the only thing death will do is remove my pain from deprivation which, in theory, is optional (the pain, that is). Really, as far as the actual lack goes, I will be back at square one. I will still lack those things I lack now. I just won't be around to mourn them.
Anyway, I'll probably disagree with myself in an hour or two. It's probably one of those high thoughts people have when stoned, but here it is. I wondered if anyone else had the same kinds of ideas lately.
