Or does it?

I know we were once nothing, but it is still terrifying and depressing to me to think about returning to this. In fact, as of late, I’ve been unable to not think about it: the loss of all experience and all memories of everything, forever. All the good times we had, and will have, with anyone or anything ever will totally annihilate into nothingness. All our efforts will amount to nothing because the thoughtless void is ultimately what awaits everything in the end.

The only argument against this would have to be supernatural, like another cause of the Big Bang or somehow proof of reincarnation, but if my consciousness won’t exist for me to experience it, then what does it matter either way?

There is no comfort in Hell, either. The anvil of death weighing down, infinitely, on all values and passions is becoming unbearable for me, so I could really use any potentially helpful thoughts about this matter.

    Oh yeah, if we knew dementia was coming for us, then screw that! But I’m more talking about the ending of even the best lives lived (whatever “best” even means). I am definitely under 40, haha.

    By the way, that is a %$#@ing insane instance domain in which you joined Lemmy, haha; it sounds as awkward as it is hilarious!

      yeah. the guy who put it up, originallucifer, pretty much says that was the why he chose the name in the about. I have gotten many comments loving the domain despite me being some bastard who just happened to make my account here. I was reading the faqs and abouts and such on a few different federation domains though and did just like the cut of his jib.
