Anyone else can't wait to die? I'm not committing suicide because every religious tradition since antiquity has taught that suicide may result in a bad afterlife. But I would warmly welcome a cancer diagnosis, hearing I have 6 months to live would excite me. As Epicurus argued:>If there is no afterlife, then after death we simply cease to exist, so there is no suffering or deprivation to experience.>If there is an afterlife, then presumably we continue in some form, which could also be viewed positively.
>>42822248>religious tradition since antiquity has taught that suicide may result in a bad afterlife.This is just a railguard to keep humans stuck in this shit existence since the idea of a post life was ingrained. What % of people would NOT kill themselves to escape this form of life if they KNOW heaven is around the corner? My guess is whatever designed human religions tried to introduce other equivalent ideas to prevent this (reincarnation, etc). Humanity would certainly kill itself off to escape life knowing something better is possible.
>>42822248the issue is that a great majority of the religions argue that you are trapped and kept in this place through reincarnation and memory wipe.this mechanism constitutes the prison, the fetters are your own desiresso if you do not work towards weakening desire through what basically all religions recommend, which is ascetic practices like fasting, silence in thoughts, in speech, living a simple, hermit type of life, etc.then the fetters stay strong and in your next incarnation, you will go through it all again, all the ups and downs. never really achieving 100% satisfaction, as this is what colors this place hellishbut if you were to weaken desire within you, which you take from one incarnation to another, at one point in a future incarnation, you could reach escape velocity, where when you sit still, you penetrate through all the 7 jhanas, catapulting out into the 8th jhana, which is also known as samadhi or if we wanna use christianese, "kingdom of heaven"then, as they say about some mystic whirling dervishes, they spun and spun and they were no more. or some other prophets, that "walked with God and were no more".catapulting out of the false world into the real one, awakeningit is pretty clear what is gonna happen upon death. its not a great thing, not because of the desire of continuation - you will continue. but you don't know that you do not wish to continue hereas what to pertains to good deeds and bad deeds, if you do good or if you do not do bad/sin (like suicide), then the archons may chose a destiny for your next incarnation that is a bit better.but regardless, its ebb and flow if you zoom out, you will experience everything. odds are you actually already have, inumerable times, the highest highs of life and the lowest lows of lifethere is not one religion that declares this place good. practically all or if not, the great majority condemn this place here.u alrdy died b4 this life & u dont remember. so nothing to get excited for!
>>42822248No, completely the opposite. I want to be immortal
>>42822248Yep. I just hope to take a data center out when I leave>>42822266Grow up faggot
>>42822290God I don't want this shit to be true but its the only thing that makes sense compared to the other faiths and belief systems on offer
according to block universe theory you will continue to exist eternally and your death has already occurred thoughbeit. you are saying "after death" with the assumption that the future hasn't happened yet, but relativity proves that the future already exists (relativity of simultaneity) so instead of asking what happens "after death", ponder the fact that the moment of your death is already in existence, yet somehow you're conscious.
>>42822290Buddshits dont even know if they are talking about actual metaphysical shit or not, clearly this line of thought seems to be demon-made with half truths on it, such as>yeah the world is shit>you should just fast and think till you dieHow it is that a buddshit realizes that he actually extinguished desire? Buddy probably just restrained himself from pursuing desires he could never achieve anyway till the death but deep inside he was still craving at the moment of death and the buddshit explanation for this is>hey at least you got good karma in this existence>escaping the Samsara wheel requires many livesLmao, theres not even a guarantee for the religious ones who actually believe that theres an afterlife, from an outside look seems like a demon trolling a human through his entire life to waste it for literally nothing at allEven buddha himself seemed to reject the existence of anything spiritual when one follower claimed that he saw a ghost, he was like "thats bs youre a looney" Buddy, youre telling me to never try to feel good in my life because otherwise I will get send back here but what is actually going to send me back If your own line of thought later tells me almost the same shit as atheists??Its one of the most depressing religions that have ever existed and its hilarious that his creator always claimed that he created it to end sufferingIts crazy and bizarre to think that demons trolling humans may actually get millions of humans to waste their entire lives for nothing
>>42822377Makes sense to people like you, who probably never bothered to read anything else than a brief explanation of buddhismTo people like me, who actually bothered to look deeper into that belief system its completly filled with non-sense and everyone who calls them on their busshit is outed as non-spiritual enough or low IQ as simple as thatAnd if you look even deeper into buddhism they dont even care about non-sense being a thing, they welcomed it, the problem is that is totally filled
>>42822248>suicide may result in a bad afterlifedepends on the nature and intent, technically it's a self-sacrifice.
>>42822303Eat shit retard, religion has always been a means to foster community, can't run shit if everybody is offing themselves.
>>42822303Make sure to sprinkle some bamboo seeds before you go on out. Make sure that place is impossible for data center infrastructure to thrive.
>>42822438>can't run shit if everybody is offing themselves.Sure you can.
>>42822445That works? Damn, bamboo is awesome.
