Why even get a pet if they'll die after a while? You're just inviting sadness and grief into your life. There's no need for pointless suffering.
>>
you can say that about anything in life you love or enjoy.
we're all going to die. why bother enjoying anything
>>
Because while they live they make existence more enjoyable and even when they pass you are left with memories that you will cherish for the rest of your life.
>>
True, but I'm altruistic. I can't help but adopt poor homeless animals when so many ignore them.
>>
So get a turtle or parrot then lol
>>
There are years and years of love and joy and happiness for you and for your animal before this happens. If you don't get it, you truly are lost.
>>
Just raise a puppy until it's 4 and then sell or give it away to someone else.

Everyone who was born before you will die in your lifetime
If you try to avoid this they will be the sad ones instead and you will experience unimaginable terror when your last second DMT trip gives you a time dilated glimpse into hell (it’s actually just a void where nothing can happen or be)

Death and suffering are necessary parts of life. A world without them is called death.

But you're not obligated to add unnecessary grief into your life

you'll learn to love again

Because being a purely nihilistic piece of shit is retarded and ridiculous. If you end up saying "Why do this, why do that; avoid suffering altogether." you end up experiencing nothing at all and end up being a fat bloated greasy redditor sitting in your basement all the time.

To eliminate suffering you must understand it and see that it's purpose provides experience to your life. To avoid interacting with something just because it's life is more transient than yours, is pure solipsism. You are doing nothing but chasing making yourself feel good and making sure you experience no suffering.

That makes your life absolutely hollow and meaningless if you cannot contribute to bettering the lives of others. You don't sound deep by saying this at all, just so you're aware.

You need giant tortoise for a pet. Your entire life will just be a season in his.

getting another pet to replace one that died always rubbed me the wrong way
>>
>>5147868
Your first mistake was thinking of it as a replacement. Are you so emotionally stunted that you don't understand the concepts of life and death? Even ignoring the fact you treat your animal as a property, to be replaced our not. Do not have children.

There's no need for pointless suffering. Thats true, but the suffering we live through isnt pointless its part of life. Whatever life yiuve been given treat it well and you'll see the point
>>
I think it's a lot to do with humans really being far away from death, too far in the modern world
Back in the older times death was all around, it was mournful but also just a part of how things are

Now we're so insulated from it when it happens It devastates us
Death is easy to ignore when it's locked up far away
>>
After 2 years since it's adoption, i saw my hamster lose half it's weight overnight. And all that remained was a completely flat, rock solid, mummified corpse. It seems to have dispensed all moisture instantly and died.
Death approaches in weird ways, i tell ya's.

I dont know what you're yapping about but what I described actually happens

Pet die, human gets sad and within that sad time gets another pet or gets gifted one and moves on, it's terrible

I loved them more in life than I miss them in death and am content with knowing I gave them a good life.
