I want to live again. This life has been awful. I deserved better
As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. The UK and OFCOM has singled out this community and have been focusing its censorship efforts here. It takes a good amount of resources to maintain the infrastructure for our community and to resist this censorship. We would appreciate any and all donations.

Oh my god. What a curse this all was. The only comfort is instant indifference due to not existing.New consciousness happens all the time with births. New critters becoming their own things, babies growing into little people.
But our own consciousness? The ones that make us us? I think this is it. It's attached to our brains and bodies and experiences. Once the lights go out, I don't think there's any coming back. I think that's it. Probably won't even realize we're gone
But we exist because our parents did and their parents and so on. For us to come back, they have to as well right?Birth and Death
First off, "you" were already "dead" (non-existent) before you were alive. "You" didn't exist, then "You" came to exist, despite previous non-existence. So after death, "you" simply transition back into the same state of non-existence that you were in before you were born. Which means you can come to exist again as it's already been proven to happen and would inevitably happen again because anything that CAN happen will happen given enough time.
I think the fact that we didn't exists and then suddenly came into being, is proof in itself that it could happen again after death. I think our ego, or who we are dies yes and that's forever. But whatever all living beings are it is the same thing. As long as there are living beings in the universe we are never really dead.

I don't even know why am I still aliveI want to live again. This life has been awful. I deserved better
Really makes no sense right. All we are is a complex arrangement of atoms. But where did the "I" come from. You arrange atoms a certain way - you get life, but what decides that's it's my consciousness versus your consciousness. I don't really get it, I guess science can't even answer that.No, it can't happen again imo. "You" exist due to the specific arrangement of atoms that have caused your consciousness to be made and with this consciousness comes self awareness. Once you die, the atoms that make up you will still exist of course but it'd never be in this specific arrangement ever again for all of eternity meaning that, once you die, that's it
I don't really know the answer to that either.Really makes no sense right. All we are is a complex arrangement of atoms. But where did the "I" come from.

This is precisely why reincarnation doesn't scare me (not that I believe in it anyway) as I don't think that "me" in my next life can be considered to be "me" right now. I always felt like that was a false equivalence to make. I personally think as to what makes "me" me is my consciousness interacting with my environmental conditions. I'd be an entirely different person if I was born in a different family, had different genetics, had a different upbringing, had different memories and so on.Also I'll add that even if "you" came about again. Would it really be "you"?
Yeah, exactly.For all intents and purposes, it's another human entirely. Just like me and you are both experiencing consciousness right now - but we are clearly not the same person.
