That's your problem

>>4544609
is there any not to?

You can use the same justification in ending it all. Also, read upon Gnostic Christianity if you want to make your end more spiritually fulfilling.
But don't do it/you have so much to live for/etc.

yeah, rationally speaking it's best to kill yourself

especially you

>>4544652
especially any being conscious enough to ask the question

the only scenario in which killing yourself is not your best option is when you're dumb enough for the atrocity of existence not to bother you

to avoid the experience of pain i.e. a terminal disease then I think a case could be made for rationally committing suicide, but how do you overcome the fear? even socrates, after having drunk the hemlock, had to cover his face to hide the fact he was scared

Fear of what??

Are you also afraid of falling asleep at night?

For posting this thread on a literature board.

If you don't enjoy living then that should be all the rationale you need.

>the only scenario in which killing yourself is not your best option is when you're dumb enough for the atrocity of existence not to bother you

careful there, your post was so edgy I got a paper cut just by reading it

>>4544866
oh just fuck off back to whatever shithole you crawled out of if you can't contribute anything more than empty buzzwords

neo/lit/, i swear

So if you don't enjoy living it is all the rationale one needs to commit suicide?

>>4544654
I believe the word you are searching for is absurdity, not atrocity.

>>4544609
OP, it seems that you have come to the realization that life has no meaning, or at least, no inherent meaning. That can be a pretty heavy realization, and it surely has been the cause of more than a few suicides. In this discovery I suppose that suicide may seem like a rational option to some.

I would, however, implore you not to actually go through with ending your life. Instead, I suggest that you try and find your own meaning or purpose to the remaining years that you have before you are taken naturally (or die in a car crash or something).

Stay pleb

daily reminder rationality is a disease

>>4544890
Are you seriously asking? That's exact what the post you quoted said, yes

>>4544892
>I believe the word you are searching for is absurdity, not atrocity.

Through massive amounts of thinking,
(and science!) i have found a solution
that will solve any problem one might have.
This solution derives from a simple proof,
that any problem exist due to someone
perceiving something as a problem, and so
if the person who formulates a problem
ceases to exist, so will the problem.
I call it suicide.
