I've been keeping myself awake wondering if life truly exists after death or if everything goes black. We're a concious for a reason, right? There had to be something more to this life. I don't believe in god or a heaven, but it feels weird that nothing comes after death.

No, it's better that way in my opinion, user.
Think of it as an end to meaninglessness. On that note, we should both kill ourselves.
Brayden Campbell
Jacob Scott
no there's nothing after death. just as there was nothing before life.
we're consuous because our parents wanted to fuck, that's all it comes down to.
i find it quite peaceful that nothing is after death. it helps me keep at ease with myself.
i can't become someone else and what i am is what i have to live with. in the end, nothing i do will matter so why make mountains out of nothing.
this thinking got me out of depression and being suicidal.
why kill myself now when i could try and have fun and in the end, still have the same fate as if i had killed myself
Adrian Young
I guess that's true. Maybe being the best me I can be before I die, even if it doesn't matter, should be the way to live this life.
Andrew Phillips
Because no matter how much fun you have once you are dead all the memories of your fun life are gone.
So like you said you will have the same fate either way, but at least one is quicker and saves you from any pain you might experience in between your 'fun' moments. I think it's a win win.
Noah Young
Idk why the top line was cut off, meant to say suicide is the pro move
Carson Watson
Do acid. When you think you’ve done too much do more. When your brain starts to burn as you trip and you don’t have good trips anymore you will get the gift.

not even that it's about taking risks because who cares if you die today or tomorrow? there's no difference.
i have zero fears because of how i think whereas before i was scared of the dark, heights, the ocean, spiders and other irrelevant shit. just last month i was diving off a cliff side into an ocean, i had no reason to fear hitting a rock, drowning or being taken away because id be dead but ill be dead in the future anyway
Nolan Peterson
Fucking hippies, man
Samuel Jenkins
eh not really.
how would you rather die? by killing yourself which you'd need to get yourself in a reasonably depressive state to go through with it?
or by say a skydiving accident where death/mental death(exact same thing) is guaranteed and you get to experience life in the most surreal way. you could even spend your lost seconds laughing.
Jack Moore
Went through this coupled with loss of faith when I was around 16. Got cold sweats every time I wondered about the endless void and had frequent panic attacks over it as well
Honestly user we are all in the same boat as you remember that. some are just not as aware about it.
It took me some time but the way I got out of the cyclic thought process of the panic over death was Realizing if this is all we get I need to be focusing my energy on living instead of thinking about the what is after it and wasting precious time.
Charles Green
What if I can commit suicide in a neutral mood?
Josiah Baker
Consciousness doesn't come from the brain. We're connected via silver cord. Clear light is the essence. There is no birth and there is no death. Have fun in this body. All is rented, even your consciousness. Your soul is the vibration of om.
Henry Sanders
still not worth it.
you might as well go solo skydiving and intentionally let yourself die, you'd have much more fun up until the very last breath.
or go diving, you'd see parts of the world that the very majority of people will only ever see in pictures. just don't go back up for air. i do free diving and that is a good way to kill yourself. you will feel a high as your body is drained of oxygen until you finally pass out and never awake again, the last thing you see could be a beautiful reef filled with vibrant colors unimaginable on land with curious fish

Jacob Green
How do you not see that the moments before death do not matter in the slightest?
Gavin Kelly
A new study indicates that the brain experiences consciousness for hours after death. You may even be aware when tjey load you into the crematorium. So there's something to look forward to.
Wyatt Scott
Isn't mirror known to be absolutely shit journalism?
Levi Ross
Thomas Brooks
Many people who have died and come back say there is nothing. It's not even comparable to sleep. When you wake up you're somewhat aware that time has passed. When you die and if you come back, you don't even know time has passed, it's as if it's instant and you have no idea what's been going on. There is no concept of black/darkness when you're dead, like when asleep. It's a complete suspension or termination of consciousness.
Jose Taylor
Doesnt matter, the study is conducted by Yale
Jaxson Myers
i do but i also am human and we seek our happiness.
your still cognitive for a while in most cases so killing yourself is stupid, you'll be mentally questioning why you did it and going through your memories of shit.
whereas if you died having fun, you'll be dead but your thoughts would be of a very intense high of happiness.
a few years ago if i killed myself i would have only been thinking about how worthless life is until i shut off. if today i die happy (going diving today) my thoughts would be of a laugher, cliff jumping, skydiving, friends, colors and happiness.

Carter Morris
You’re alive, bud. Stay that way and maybe you can figure out why
Jeremiah Anderson
Ok now you're talking about the supposed time you are conscious after death as if that matters. Just like the countless hours I've spent feeling bad, another however long of thinking wouldn't matter. I don't believe that anyway.
Aaron Morgan
Besides, if you destroy the brain there will be no more cognitive thought. So problem solved.
Carson Young
Have you ever had a really bad trip, any kind?
Blake Gomez
serious question, are you depressed or something?
real, pure happiness will always triumph sadness. biologically when we are happy we are physically better in all ways when compared to being sad.
Isaiah Morgan
That’s if you think the brain is the source of consciousness. I don’t think so.
Alexander Reyes
I think I am, but I really hope I would hold the same belief if I wasn't. Because it just makes the most sense to me that every intelligent being should seek death. Existence is pointless. Etc
Juan Green
If you’re feeling depressed, get off what you’re taking right now, including what’s coming in through your eyes. Anyone on this board is a fucking degenerate but you don’t have to die
Asher Rivera
Why don't you think that?
Nathaniel Ortiz

Landon Rodriguez
If you think about it for real, it would be pretty probablistically surprising if this was just it
Cameron Ross
its more like your timeline gets cut of than going black. there wont be a "you" within the void to take notion of the nothing.
Xavier Campbell
You Pepe fags are weird.
Hudson Thompson
Real answer? No culture ever hasn’t had a conception of the divine. Everyone is broken and upset about it. Your brain fucks you up by fluctuating with hormone levels and glucose intake.
but people stay people, and we are capable of rational thought despite that
Chess, the actual game, isn’t tangible, yeah? But it still exists. 2-2 is still zero if no one is thinking about it. That means concepts exist without anyone’s brain matter running that software.
This isn’t a fully developed thought but I’m on mobile like an idiot

Survival instinct
Easton Clark
intelligent animals are known to commit suicide and take part in nihilistic acts but that's all they have.
a dolphin that realises life is useless has three options, suicide, repeating their life until old age gets them or by being teared apart by other sea creatures. it's no surprise they'd choose suicide over being eaten alive.
we have extreme sports. i take part in quite a few of them and suicide is what got me into them. oh im thinking of hanging myself so why not dive from the sky?
im still young but i dont plan on living for too long, i think 30 might be too old for me (20 now). im not suicidal anymore but being modern life isn't for me, i don't want to end up working myself into a grave.
but when i die i know it'll be a happy death. assuming the extreme sports don't kill me my plan is to spend a week partying, with friends and family, going through as many life experiences as possible and ending it with not coming back up for air in my favorite underwater spot. id die with a high from lack of oxygen, my brain would stop working faster (blacking out underwater is the brain dying, it stops all the parts from working to preserve as much time for the brain as possible) and my last memories will be of pure and true joy.
Elijah Lewis
What, that it helps keep us alive to carry on genes? That’s a reasonable thought, but doesn’t account for art
Jonathan Evans
Theres no other logical way for anything to exist beyond death without a God.
Theres no way for life to have any true meaning without a God.
Nathan Cooper
It doesnt account for anything that actually matters.
Hunter Martinez
existentialism aside, please don’t do that. You’re a goddamn thinking creature and even if it hurts you can do it
Grayson Bennett
Everything youre saying is childish.
Your lost. You need direction and purpose. Youre not as knowlegable or as wise as you think you are.
James Richardson
If there's nothing there it doesn't matter because you'd never know, it'd be like before your conception. I'm kinda hoping for a consciousness transfer to a different person, possibly me in an alternate dimension or reality, but obvious if such a thing does occur, we obviously don't get to retain our memories or experiences.
In the end it doesn't really matter.
Lincoln Bailey
You need to figure out why it matters that hes a creature or if he thinks

Random mutation
Jose Foster
Wether or not it matters is wether or not divine purpose and truth exists. If it doesnt then nothing matters.
Chase Carter
You’re right, because there needs to be something beyond the kind of being that we experience, a necessary being that can’t flick in and out, that has existence as its nature
Brandon Morales
it's not about hurting it's about wasting away. ive sat and watched multiple people waste away due to work, alcohol and old age. none of them are appealing deaths.
i would much rather die young, healthy and happy.
maybe so but im not trying to be wise, im just trying to help anyone reading climb out of their depression. i hope your day is great :)
Landon Thompson

i’m 32 and trust me it goes up and down but doesn’t have to get worse and potentially gets better
Austin Harris
until i eventually get too old to take part in the sports i enjoy and the only things that will kill me are an accident, another person, an animal or old age.
i know that by dying at 30 or so ill miss out on a lot but i dont want to waste away. the thought of dying healthy and young isn't because im suicidal or depressed (im not anymore) but because i have seen what age can bring.
it's also worth noting im not a smart person, i barely have a school qualification and work in a bar and on a construction site. when i look at my 35 year old coworker with back pains, all i feel is dread.
Christopher Lopez
Imagine being 30+ the new meta is to die before that

ngl, I’m in pretty decent shape, but it takes work. Little fucked in the head, but so is everyone in one way or another. Among other things, I’ve been in the army and a nurse in a hospice.
I hear what you’re saying, but the idea that you waste away into pointlessness is silly, and I’d like you to reconsider
Dylan Jackson
im in great shape but that doesn't dictate anything.
im not saying that when you're older than 30 you waste away but in my case, i will.
i have no chance of bettering my career because of my qualifications and lack of ability/want to manage stuff.
my parents are arthritic (i can feel it starting up), cancer has killed one side of my family for over 100 years and i won't ever have a better quality of life.
you're asking me to not die young, healthy and happy but to reconsider dying old, miserable, weak and a burden.
im not sure most people will agree but ill be taking healthy over anything else.
but if i happen to have a child, ill wait for them to turn 18 before allowing myself to die.

Art is about sex at the end of the day. Men and women create art to show off, be admired, for money if they're good, etc. All these things are attractive to the opposite sex.
Jordan Wood
I'm 35 and don't have any major injuries. In fact I'm in better shape now than when I was in my mid-late 20s.
You can still have a healthy and strong body well into your 50s. Look at Brad Pitt in his latest movie and Hugh Jackman. In their 50s and look pretty good.
