Life is fragile

[Rational man]

In the end, we all do die.

Suicide, disease, accident, murder, war or old age, etc. it can arrive when we least expect it!. I feared death for a long time and it took disease to bring home the reality, and that is we all do die and it can happen at any age. The war in Ukraine furthermore added to this feeling that life is fragile. One week, women and children laughing and playing in the street and the next Week, laying dead in the street after a massive bomb blast. Life IS until it isnt and all people could fear less if we embrace this reality.

Every single word you wrote couldn't be more accurate. Thats why I have candle in the wind bellow my name, cause I know that flame can soon be gone. In an instant like you put it so well.

All those deaths in Ukraine (as sad as they are) made me feel peace with suicide, the truth is i will be just one more who died, a number, i'm not special at all and if i want to end it i won't feel guilty.

Right. Why feel guilty when no one actually cares if we live or die

What you say resonates with me. Its almost paradoxical. How many of us are browbeaten into the belief that life is sanctimonious. In the same way that life can be snuffed out because of wars, etc.

Life is completely meaningless, it is just a pointless experience that we go through for the sake of it. Our lives do not matter at all, as all our problems will die with us. Things that seem important to us now will eventually not be. I see no point to living, so much unnecessary pain, suffering, sadness. We were all perfectly fine not existing until we were forced to live. There is no point to fearing death as it is inevitable for us all, death actually comforts me a lot and I look forward to it, as nothing can hurt me then.

My Dad got diagnosed with lung cancer 10 months ago. He is now at the polnt where there is nothing more they can do for him. He can no longer eat or drink by mouth and has a feeding tube inserted through his nose and into his stomach. He weighs only 94 pounds and looks like one of those people from the concentration camps. We live together and I am his carer and I have to watch him waste away and die.Life is fucking hideous, I hate human existence. Im just hanging on and trying to be strong for his sake, but when he finally exits this dreadful world I will soon be following him.

So hard isnt it, to watch someone die like.this. My Mother died in a similar way from lymphoma. She battled on with no dignity or quality of life. Though we were not close, I found it traumatic. I face a similar fate and thats why i plan to ctb

Yes, it is profoundly upsetting to see someone suffer like that. The worse thing is the look of utter hoplesness and defeat in his eyes. I hope He passes soon, preferably in his sleep so He can be released from this cruel existence. I am so sorry you had to endure the emotional trauma of watching your Mother suffer like She did. Hugs.
