Discussion Your philosophy

[SuicideKitty]

Obvious. What's your point of viewing live if there's any? There are many pessimists here of course, but perhaps there are also those who view suicide from a metaphysical point of view?
Also, is any of you familiar with Mäinlander "Philosophy of Redemption" which describes why suicide isn't a bad thing?

I would say my younger self was a hedonist; always looking for what felt good (to numb the pains, ofc, though I am not sure if that matters).

I would say now more of a nihilist? I don't believe anything really matters which seems to piss off quite a few people for some reason. I simply find a freedom in that. I mean, assume I had grand babies that met me. Most people don't know their great-grandparents names even. I won't be remembered past two generations by anyone and that is if I am lucky. There's freedom in that; in knowing nobody really cares. At day's end,I am still quite lonely. I'm starting to accept that may just be my state of being permanently.

I'm probably closest to absurdism- seeing as it does all seem absurd! I don't believe in a fixed meaning to life but, I think we can generate and believe in our own meanings. I used to feel like I had a purpose and, it made life easier. I think it's a good coping mechanism to feel like we have a purpose.

I think we ought to be given the fundamental right to leave this life (so long as we can reason and we fully understand the choice.)

The problem as I see it is- as soon as we're born, our lives become interwoven in a whole bunch of codependent relationships. So- whatever we do or, don't do, can deeply affect others.

It's one thing to choose to be in a co dependent relationship and then feel trapped and beholden to another. It's another to just dump someone in it and expect them to comply. That isn't fair but, that's just the reality of our lives.

There are also things the majority of us will have to comply to or else, face horrible consequences. Most of us will have to work in order to pay for our lives. There are also so many dangers in this world that we simply can't be protected from.

To me, that adds up to a very unfair and totally uncertain environment to enlist a child in so- I hold antinatilist beliefs also.

To me Nothing matters except me avoiding unbearable pain or extreme suffering, me avoiding any pain or suffering or problems, and me killing myself asap

What "enjoyable " garbage is worth even 3 minutes of the worst constant worse pain? To me nothing is worth even 1 second of the worst pain. What about hours days weeks months of the worst constant worst pain?

Why do I have to live another minute ? There is no reason.

there are many horrible things that can happen which outweigh the pleasurable addictions

I don't see any meaning to the things they constantly tell us are so pleasurable or that we have to do.

I have unique philosophy part of it is i hate the pleasurable addictions for many reasons. 1 is they waste all my time. 2. Keep me distracted from reality. For example i know I need to get working on getting my suicide method and plan decided and ready to go . But then neural networks in my brain say "watch YouTube " . Then after hours in a YouTube rabbit hole i haven't done anything for my suicide plan nor even crap like cleaning or declutttering which I hate doing

A human brain can't recreate the exact feeling of pain from memory. They can only remember a model that it was an unpleasant or torture when something triggers that memory.

All human memories are models. And very few things are even remembered

But only when one is in the moment of unbearable pain then u are shocked at how bad it is and all u want to do is end the pain.

When u r in the worst pain ur not thinking I need to go enjoy myself go watch YouTube or eat a delicious food . Those things become meaningless in tr depths of hell
