I think the idea of what death really means hasn't truly sunk in for most people

[vanillaicecream]

It's not just the end of your life. There's more to it the deeper you look. Most people just do not realize that they will cease to exist for eternity. They don't realize they won't take the form of anything that exists ever again. Won't experience life in any way shape or form. It will just be... sheer nothingness. Maybe they cope with fairy tales like afterlife or just haven't really taken the time to let this realization sink in. When they do maybe they will stop taking life so seriously.

No I have meditated and seen the truth. Intellect does not live on. Life does not live on. Being does, read the Enneads and Evola.

Yes. Evola was when all the lightbulbs went off but he wasn't the only one I read. Just most influential

I just finished a palliative care rotation a couple months ago. Made me never want to get old
Most patients I saw went through months if not years of torture before dying
I saw 70 year old war veterans screaming and crying like a baby begging for more opioids
All the movie bullshit about "reflecting on the life you've lived" is just retarded when the end is coming you will feel 70% pain 30% fear most likely

The hardcore religious patients I worked with coped the best with mortality. "It's my time to meet God" or "my spirit will live on" is much more acceptable than "all this pain is for nothing, I will never open my eyes or see my family again"

I always regretted refusing to go to church with my grandparents as a little kid, I think my worldview and approach to life would be a lot happier if I was religious

 

[Deleted member 17611]

I've been thinking since a kid that I'm gonna miss myself once I die, paradoxically.

Like, I'm never going to be able to experience myself again, I won't be able to have conversations with myself in my head etc.

That scares me the most. I'll miss myself.

If anything the idea of mortality makes me take life even more seriously. It makes me realize how regretful the arguments and negative feelings I had with my brother, parents, exes, friends are considering we will all be dead within 80 years. It made me want to start a family and have kids ASAP so I can be young and healthy when I'm there for them

I personally don't have this "gotta make he most of it while we're here" mindset. It's exactly this very realization that we won't be here forever and that it will just be eternal nothingness and non existence afterwards that's depressing to me and makes me not take things seriously since it will all amount to nothing in the end.

I never really cared about family or kids when I was younger. My only goals in life were to be famous, rich, date the hottest girls I could, impress my brother and my dad with my successes and be admired
Working around sick and dying people all day made me start to think that the only true "success" I could have would be having a successful family and raising kids of my own who could live on without me even if I'm incapacitated or dead

It unironically actually made me hate my family even more when I realized this.

I get this one and only life, this one and only chance at consciousness, and I have to spend it being ugly and undesirable? In never asked for these genes, I never asked for this life. I never asked to be born in the family I was. I honestly prefer if I was never born at all, but now that I am, I also too "scared" to end it as well. It's fucking bullshit. My worst fear in this life, is dying ugly and unwanted, and not being able to get my revenge on those people who made my childhood, and by extension my young adulthood a depressed suicidal mess. That's my only motivation in life, to get surgeries, become physically attractive, and then to hurt as many people (normies) as I can for making my life a living hell, for things completely out of my control.

If you're so confident why haven't you solved the hard problem of consciousness

I wish this was true so much tbh. The likely reality is that you will experience something similar to rebirth.

This reminds me of those corny Gary Vaynerchuk clips I see on facebook
"You're gonna die! Seize every last moment of life you have left! Live every day like it's your last!"
