When the moment comes, as we know it will. Will you be fully prepared? I don’t mean that you said goodbye to loved ones and all, I mean prepared as in you felt it in your heart and soul that you were content with the fact that in the next moment or night you would no longer have life. No breath to breathe. Will you think about the newborns, the children, the teenagers and young folk? Will you understand the meaning of all this? Will you be able to come to some sensible comprehension of what has appeared in our perception? Will you believe in life and the source behind life? Will you be too afraid to find contentment? When strange symptoms strike and you run out of breath, will you be afraid of the pain and panic? My comprehension is minimal. There is too much I cannot understand of origins. I cant understand why we are alive. Why this universe formed. Why there are species, plants, planets, water, gases, fruits…..conscious! My most curious observation, is why is this here. Why am I apart of this? Why is LIFE. I understand the vastness of everything and which planets exist and how the bounders go on for light years but I can’t for the life of me understand why and when it formed. I can’t understand former man and prior species. I can’t understand why I need to be alive here. Not that that is the only important thing. I have one question, if you are on completing suicide now or whether you may in future or whether you will not complete suicide, when do you feel you will be ready (heart and soul) for the jump into the afterlife. Years, months, days, approximately how quick could you be ready if need be. To summarize the question, when will you be ready to fully depart life as you know it on earth?
Will you be able to bear the pain?
I don’t think I can.

The question of purpose is by definition unsolvable because it requires a level of knowledge we cannot acquire (perhaps even omniscience) for one to be certain of any definitive conclusions in that department. Philosophers can’t even agree on which premises to take, and scientists are only well versed in the “how”, the mechanisms. I think I’m not ready, and that I may panic regardless, but my idea is that mastering a certain level of impulsiveness in order to cause irreversible damage or create an inescapable situation with the ultimate result of death may give some peace. If you trust that the situation is final, you can reason in your waning moments that it is late to reconsider and best to savor those beautiful, glorious moments. Regret is a very useless thing to a person who won’t live to adapt their behavior going forward, after all.
My personal estimate of “when” is at most 2 months on account of unfinished business, but depending on how much alcohol I drink, maybe even tomorrow. I have all I need with me to pull it off right now, if I so choose.
So you fall into the category of a chosen suicide planned for 2 months but sooner isn’t opposed?
I seem to like to take suggestions on philosopher and answer seeking guide books
All is can say right now is this a very thought provoking piece. Will ponder it for awhile. Thanks COD:S.
I keep wondering about those things too but trying to distract myself from those thoughts as they’re making me more depressed… you’re going exactly where you came from (before birth), full stop. Nothing to worry about. (At least that’s what I’m trying to keep my mind focused on but it’s hard)
Yes that is also what I think
But I have other questions that don’t concern what happens after
I’m not worried about the after
