I've thought about this allot too, growing up as Jehovah's Witnesses, I sometimes think it forced me to think about death more than I should've. I mean, I already wanted to die when I was little—before I even knew it was an option I could choose for myself. Like when my mom tried to commit suicide...
I'm still conflicted. Is all of this—life, pain, everything—run by some omnipotent god who gets their kicks from pushing their creations to the limit? Whether it's animals or humans, we're all basically the same: driven by emotion, even if numb.
And I don't know... a lot of the time, I'm convinced the answer is said right to our faces:
'Natural selection.'
'Survival of the fittest.'
I'm certain my death will be fated by my own hands,,
And if not that so be it, because there is no true control,, just some construct. just some construct,,we spin narratives around our own endings, grasping to notions of control tho ultimately were all just returning to dust,, idk idk, like the fuckin ocean tide rolling coming in an out it doesn't change that fact that Even if my hand guides the shot or compresses my chest,, it's still part of the larger rhythm of the inevitable, like a necessary unraveling, somtimes I think perhaps CTB isn't escaping fate, but *becoming* it like
maybe CTB is just another step in the grand cosmic disco

of life, dramatic?
Whats the difference? emotions are bound to strike and happy or not you'll need to respond.
Are heartbeats are merely an unavoidably ultimately predetermined nonetheless,, even if one decides to take there own life.
Either way,
I suspect the universe won't notice, and why would it,, we are either inherently cruel without reason or there is some Omni present god willingly creating us to suffer,, but apparently many believe that's all in gods plan, giving you trails and hardships you must fight off to solidify your loyalty and unwavering belift to God! Fighting against the triumphs of satans evil attempts to delude the holy ones
