Because it was terrifying to be in a state of nonexistence. Thinking about not having what i currently have or even the fact that I’m very much likely not even going to have a state of being where i can even remember the things i had done in my life is truly fucking terrifying to me.
I wasn’t burdened by the curse that is awareness before I was born, and hence now as a result of this awareness, I am scared.
We are not cursed to know, we are blessed! We are a fantastic arrangement of atoms that so happen to be arranged into people instead of rocks!
We are, at the end of the day, infinitely small chunks of the Universe able to see, experince, know, and look back into ourselves!
I may be hammered, and the world is in an especially frightening place at the moment, but damn is it good to have my atoms arranged into a person instead of a tree
wow so cool!
Everyone should be afraid of the judgement in the Realm afterwards!!! :-(
Which judgement? Are we reincarnated into a form based upon our virtue? Are we trying to die a glorious warrior to feast with Wotan? Does “the god” demand blood sacrifice, killing all? Do we turn the other cheek to vibe with Yaweh? Do we simply sink into the potter’s ground, destined to have our current atoms remade, even though we are a single drop of rain, or shall we remain?
I’m not afraid of dying. I’m afraid of the part before that.
Same, let’s try and make that bit before that less shit, hey?
ngl i plan to be a digital being by 2060
Art become reality, ye are the 21st century digital boy
I’m not afraid, I’m annoyed. I’ll never get to finish my unfinished books. >:(
Or my Steam library.

fucking apostrophe abuse
The shitpost’s will continue until morale improves’
look here you little 'shit…
You can’t “experience” nothingness. Even if you could, you can fear things you’ve experienced before…
The previous billions of years of void was a grandiose buildup to the world’s largest nothing-burger, followed by an eternity of void again.
This strangely made me feel a better about the concept of death.
Sometimes I think about it and fall in a few seconds of existential dread. But this kinda…makes it make sense?
It brought me some comfort too.
I’m not afraid of death. I’m afraid of dying
If I knew for a fact that I was going to die instantly, without even knowing it happened, I’d be worried about how my loved ones would feel, but okay with it as far as I’m concerned.
Came to say the same thing. Dying sounds painful, even in most of the best case scenarios
We are genetically configured to survive at all costs. That fear is simply the wiring in your head ensuring you do what you can to survive.
You can safely compartmentalize it. store it up there with your irrational fear of clowns.
I remember what it was like, that’s why I am afraid of it.
And I am not frightened of dying, any time will do, I don't mind Why should I be frightened of dying? There's no reason for it, you've gotta go sometimeDarkSide
