If I interpreted your message correctly, anonymous poster, your solution would be... to simply live and focus on the shenanigans of the present, regardless of, impending, sooner or later, cessation of all our consciousnesses.

That's all I needed to hear. Unfortunate however, that none can escape the grasp of involuntary termination after a certain amount of time has passed. Ultimately saddening (and will continually be, for the rest of my lifespan) that our time here is limited and we can't be ourselves as much as we wanted to.

You'd think there would be more - a sequel, or prolongation perhaps (depends on your beliefs, but which belief is objectively correct? Which is the most truthful? Do truthful beliefs exist?) but, as hard as it is for me to say that's pure idealism that cannot be proven by any one of us here, on our planet. None have come back from non-existence, none have given us fair evidence regarding life after death, and for the last time once more, none have demonstrated (clearly enough) that we'll be ongoing entities for what goes beyond our mortal understanding - especially with our original line of thought(s), and understandings, our fundamental principals and what makes us who we are - that I believe will not happen soon.

I don't know what I'm supposed to be doing nowadays, I'm in bad shape but is it worth repairing yourself after you've found out about the cold-hearted truth? But what if I can't create future happiness (or general, loose meaning) for myself anymore? What do you do if the present time is unbearable? I had a lovely childhood in which I never pondered about ceasing to live but the game's changed now, not a mere light change but a sudden brutal realization occurred to me when I stopped being twelve years old. I was a young man incessantly running with friends enjoying my time, and wasn't forced to internally mingle with existentialism.

If that makes you go on with your life, I am envious. Proceed further.

Whatever you say, friend. Here's your obligatory reply, cherish it.

I can vouch for you.

No, obviously not. Which is arguably worse as I could become anything in the next life and not stick to being the person who I am, currently. I believe in Nietzsche's eternal recurrence concept, albeit more extreme, and not reappearing on planet Earth but on a more horrific territory with no recollection of past lives, as an extraterrestrial being. And this randomizes itself for an infinite amount of time, never giving a person whose perished a break.

I would advise for every anonymous user gazing at my thread to view my text through a tremendously skeptical (additionally attentive if possible) lens for I cannot extrapolate to the point of full coherence, and instead I'm giving you all that I can with my (limited) knowledge of the English language. I am admittedly a pseudo-intellectual so that will likely damage the prose and quality of what I export out of my head.
