Extreme Pain is much worse than people know

It does me . because nothing that any of us do will matter in 130 years. even less in 10,00 years. even less in a trillion years. what will matter then ? nothing, even in 130 years after i die then nothing will matter to me. Any mistake i made won't . All the mistakes i made will be wiped as if they never happened. Any problem i'm in now will be gone by then

i won't remember any bad memories. I won't have any problems no chance of pain. All my problems will be solved and forgotten . all the bad luck , horrible things , bad memories will then be as if they never happened as if none of us never existed. sure many others have had better luck but everything they did will be gone into oblivion forever as well . It brings me comfort this horror and all the problems will end. i just have to skip over any extreme suffering and get to non-existence asap. i want to forget about this horrible life and evil world

We are just like sparks shooting up in a camp fire , here one second gone the next. Each of us and everything we did every thing that happened to us just like a tiny wave in the massive ocean breaking once and then into oblivion forever.

nothing matters. nothing that we did will make a difference in 200 years.

After Death is non-existence forever. imo non-existence forever is the best gift someone could get after a difficult life full of problems, suffering, labor and for some of us extremely horrible things happening, all wiped as if they never happened. all problems solved instantly and forever. no chance ever of any pain suffering problems bad memories. during life there is always the chance of extreme torture , excruciating pain or extreme suffering but never in non-existence there is only zero pain and total peace. It comforts me that this horrible life will be no more as if it never happened all the catastrophes also cast off into oblivion forever . non-existence is the ultimate bliss

It brings me comfort this horror and all the problems will end. i just have to skip over any extreme suffering and get to non-existence asap , hoping very much my methods work

The shortness of life, so often lamented, may be the best thing about it.
Arthur Schopenhauer

"The cradle rocks above an abyss, and common sense tells us that our existence is but a brief crack of light between two eternities of darkness. Although the two are identical twins, man, as a rule, views the prenatal abyss with more calm than the one he is heading for (at some forty-five hundred heartbeats an hour). I know, however, of a young chronophobiac who experienced something like panic when looking for the first time at homemade movies that had been taken a few weeks before his birth. He saw a world that was practically unchanged–the same house, the same people–and then realized that he did not exist there at all and that nobody mourned his absence." — Vladimir Nabokov

Nature has given man no better thing than shortness of life.
Pliny the Elder

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
William Shakespeare

Consider in what condition both in body and soul a man should be when he is overtaken by death; and consider the shortness of life, the boundless abyss of time past and future, the feebleness of all matter.
Marcus Aurelius


I've been quite fascinated by the relative insignificance of human existence, the shortness of life. We might as well be a letter in a word in a sentence on a page in a book in a library in a city in one country in this enormous universe! And that kind of fear and insignificance has kept me awake at night.
Laura Marling

Life is a vapor. It passes in the blink of an eye.

The world still spins, with or without me. 90 years from now everyone I've ever met who will even remember me will be gone, and my memory along with it. Those who will be hurt by my death will one day die themselves, the pain caused by my suicide will be finite. It doesn't make me feel good about hurting those Ill leave behind, but it brings me some comfort to know it is not forever.

Nothing even matters now let alone 130 years. Everyone overestimates how significant they are, realistically there are a handful of people who would truly be impacted long term.

I'm with the other poster - way less than 130 years. They say within 2 generations we're all forgotten about. A generation is about 25, 26 years. The only ones who'll visit our graves then will be the birds shitting on our monuments.

A very small number of people will think of me once in a while. I have few relatives still living, and a small number of them who know me and keep in touch. I have maybe 6 "friends" left. I never had children. I have no significant other. My cats may be the ones who miss me the most - but they will move on with new owners. I am a speck of dust in a vast universe. I have had almost no impact on anything. Too bad I had to suffer so much for an end result of mostly insignificance, and no legacy.
PS - Feeling so insignificant actually is helpful as my end date is quickly approaching. Somehow, it makes me feel less guilty about checking out on my own terms.

Recently I've grown accustomed to watching docs about space before bed. It's not directly connected, but when wider concepts of space/time are considered all of our concerns seem different. It's still amazing to me how the intensity of the taste of our own mouths, so to say, always becomes the primary concern.

Very well said. This statement reminded me of something I read from Hermann Burger's Tractatus:

"To cling to life is to fail, in a basic sense, to see the illusory side of reality that all philistines are reconciled to. We are a soap bubble, we shimmer, rise, float, pop."

I wish. I think at the moment of death I'm going to wake up somewhere else in the universe and have to navigate THAT life. I hope by then some of the kinks are worked out.

Every human being can influence what happens to humanity and to this planet. For example, it is now about 107 years since the war of independence in my country and hopefully it will still be relevant 30 years from now.

The world will forget the names and deeds of 99.999% of everyone living now in 200 years, but our deeds themselves will continue to impact our world. Saving a life today could save countless lives in the future, and being kind to one person can impact those with which (s)he will interact with in the future. Knowing my positive actions will live on after I am dead is what gives me peace.

To an extent, yes. It still doesn't exactly fix the mundane day to day problems though. The universe may not care if I fail at my job, get the sack and starve to death but it will affect me quite a bit. So, it doesn't really negate all the stuff we all need to deal with just to try and ensure things don't get worse. Plus, just because the universe won't weep when my Dad dies, I will.

Yeah I should have added that some of us are suffering now and need to get out now or soon . But I guess I meant that we will all be dead in 130 years so that makes everything even less meaningless so that we are not losing anything. I don't see a difference if I kill myself in a week or die anyway in 5 years of an accident except all the suffering I would have avoided in those 5 years .Even if we had an average or good life it would have ended anyway forever as it will for all. No use in having envy that others have it better for now as they Will also cease to exist forever in 130 years or less no matter what.The good thing is it does end eventually . But that doesn't help those that are suffering very much and need to the escape to non-existence now . That's why I hope my suicide methods and plan work so that I can get out of this hell extremely soon. Everything everyone will be gone obliterated forever in 130 years as if their lives and whatever was going on never happened in the first place. What I mean is people to me seem like they seem to think everything is so important and can't see they and everything will be wiped out with Death and time . every one dies. Every thing dies even the universe.

No one remembers anyone . For example even famous people Shakespeare , Darwin , Schopoenhaur. Just names some of us have heard . Do we know what they did who they really were? And how often do we think about them . Never

Shame on the man who goes to his grave escorted by the miserable hopes that have kept him alive.
Emil Cioran

This very second has vanished forever, lost in the anonymous mass of the irrevocable. It will never return. I suffer from this, and I do not. Everything is unique—and insignificant.

Yes, it is very comforting. Without zooming out of my insignificant little life I'd probably go insane with worry over all my immediate perceived micro-scale problems. The fact that all my problems are meaningless and I will be forgotten fairly quickly puts off some of the pressure to do everything 'right' and gives leeway to take things less seriously. Every time my anxiety goes off the charts I need to remind myself of the larger picture and of things that are bigger than me and it helps to alleviate it.
