I hope it's quick and during my sleep. I don't wanna be 50 years old frail and weak, suffering from cancer and shitting the pieces of my guts with blood down the fucking loo. I have read a thread on /sci/ yesterday about the final stages of liver cancer. A hospice nurse said that in the last days he heard consistent scream of this elderly women even with the morphine injections. Ligotti once said in an interview that you have to go through tunnel of razers before your last breadth. I am a scared shirtless lads, this is what coming for all of us.

As Stoics and Cioran said the door is always open. I hope I could gather enough strength to blow my brains out before slowly rotting on a bed somewhere for years. I wish I was a nameless, unknown monk of long ago sitting in that cave somewhere with a mind as empty as newly dug grave. I wish I was never born.

I could die tomorrow. I could have a moment tomorrow where I know I'm about to die. I could have that cliched experience from movies where my entire life flashes before my eyes and I reflect on it. I have nothing that I look back on fondly, nothing I would miss, nobody I would miss, no happy memories. My life oscillates between dull monotony and unbearable mental torment. I have lived a tortured existence for as long as I can remember. An abusive, neglectful and loveless childhood, repeated shunning and ridicule from my peers, never accepted by anyone. Years of bootstrap pulling, whinging to therapists, pointless and futile attempts to change, hard work and effort with no reward. No relief. Only a looming, dark truth that I don't want to accept, that it has all been for nothing. That I have no way out of this hell I'm in, that I have been doomed from the day I was born to exist, suffer pointlessly and die. That death can come at any moment. It is that moment before my death that I fear, not death itself. I will finally have to accept the reality of my existence, the hope for a future where things are better will no longer be there for comfort. That moment terrifies me.

I don't fear death. For that state which we call "death" is nothing less than the womb of nothingness from which our life came from in the first place.
Death is coming home. Don't be scared about going back guys. You will be back. The journey will be hard and something other than on earth. But at least we won't have bodies over there. Nothing to weight us down and hurt. Disconnecting from our bodie is quite unpleasant but, in ideal cases, it happens quite fast.

We're healthy and young right now but I can't imagine you making this statement when you will old, fragile, diseased and your mind will become a tomb of failures, good byes and losses that you have taken your whole life.

I live to avoid regret and bitterness. That's why I'm not getting vaxxed. I'd rather die than be part of the system of the antichrist. Note that I don't identify as a christian but am influenced heavily by christianity and use their language and concepts.
Sounds like you still regret things and fear to regret decisions you will have made upon your path. Just consider that failure and despair arr a part of life if you wamt them to be or not. Better accept and learn to love what you are given than rage against your own being your whole life.

What people mean by so called acceptance is not trying to think about them. Whenever that thought come up you ignore. This coldness is no better than rage. These are rather minor.

Today I was thinking about this and for the first time I thought that I'd be OK with it. Not because of suiidal tendencies but because I think I have tapped into the solution to life, and no matter what I accomplish in the rest of my life I have already fulfilled my purpose.
Not that I'd like to die. I wouldn't like that, I would be scared and distressed about dying. But I would die knowing that my job is done.

It brings me joy to experience this terrifying series of events enfolding called life. It is traumatic in nature but still my joy is no madness. It comes from the lord within. I am in his hands and thus his wisdom flows into me. And knowledge of the vastness of creation does not make me nihilistic but gives me eternal joy since I am one with this univerese and this is where we go after death. We are emerging out of god and we go back to him. But after the renewal of the holy spirit in the soul we lust after adventourous living once again.

Enjoy it my friend.

>> No.19558850

Right. Life vs. death is bullshit. Mobility, on the other hand, decreases with age, both in body and in spirit. Furthermore, you only have so many years to form your reputation, and that cannot profane your spirit, but it can hurt your body. There is only so much wealth and honor before you realize what wealth and honor are. To be honored means to be taken at your word, and that can only mean your word is a prison for the body! Your word cannot affect your spirit, unless you speak heresy. I wonder what God does with the heretics..I haven't a clue! Oh well, I can only carry on.

You probably wont get cancer at the age of 50. That is still relatively young. Also no need to blow your brains out. Recently in Sweden a capsule was created where you get in, nitrogen puts you to sleep and you peacefully pass away.

In case of intense pain you can always be sedated (sleep) and dont feel anything. You wont wake up again though.

Why is it such a universally accepted idea that dying is a "bad" thing? We have no idea what happens after we die. Maybe death is better than life? Yet things like suicide are universally and cross-culturally seen as tragic, horrible, sad etc. I mean for all we know people who commit suicide could be just spending less time on this planet and they don't have to suffer as much as the rest of us who decide to stick it out. I'm not saying suicide is good, I don't think it is, but I do find it interesting on how it is just universally accepted as a bad thing.

Growing old is more terrifying than death and it's insane to me that nobody talks about it. At least nobody I ever heard of. People are simply expected to live as long as they biologically can, fighting for seconds even as geezers, as if years are a score in a videogame of life. In our culture, and I mean global, human culture, there's a notion that the importance of existing precedes the important of existing gracefully. That suicide is more terrible than a terrible life. Even a suggestion to the contrary is seen as monstrous. But to lose yourself, bit by bit, all things that made you - you, is it not what's truly mostrous? To wake up weaker and dumber each morning, having lost some more precious memories, knowledge slipping out of your mind as shit is slipping past your sphincter. To lower expectations, down and more, till a successful climb up the staircase gives you a humiliating shot of dopamine and remembering your mother's birthday is a proudful moment. Death, by comparison, is a swift and decisive swing of a guillotine.

>>19558999
I agree. It reminds me of this quote by Leopardi:

Death is not an evil, because it frees us from all evils, and while it takes away good things, it takes away also the desire for them. Old age is the supreme evil, because it deprives us of all pleasures, leaving us only the appetite for them, and it brings with it all sufferings. Nevertheless, we fear death, and we desire old age.

Learning to die is also part of life, yet people run away from this truth and hang on to life as much as they can.

There are countries where euthanasia is legal, I'm a european and there are many cases where people have travelled to Belgium because they were not allowed to legally end their own lives here. People living with horrible painful disabilities for example. I think most people would accept that people can be in such horrible suffering that the merciful thing to do would be to let them die or help them die. We seem to readily accept it with animals, putting a cat or a horse out of its misery is universally acceptable but to do the same thing to a human is considered a step too far in most cultures.
