that's fuckin weird.
Best to me is not existing. I think not existing would be better than life. I wouldn't ever have to brush my teeth again, plus lots more benefits. Its a bit of a fucked up joke. I mean life, the real original stuff with predators and parasites and eagles that drop tortoise's from really high up to crack their shells, as opposed to this fake human environment.. where each animal would probably choose to push a button that would erase their own existence to get freedom from this violent scary painful hell.. yet they're all stuck constantly living because the only way to get out is excruciating pain. And we'll probably figure out the mechanisms for pain and create an artificial intelligence that can feel it a million times sharper. We need to put our heads together and think of how we can erase humanity.

I don't think so.
the best in the world is the knowledge that we're living in an illusion, and that despite the fact that we choose to live in it, it cannot last forever.

We chose to live in it? Do you mean we choose to live rather than to commit suicide? Then yes that is the choice we make.
We do not choose to be born. Unless there are past lives and another heaven realm or whatever the bhuddist religion teaches.

that's one aspect of it: choosing to live rather than commit suicide.
another aspect of it is choosing to live in a kind of life we live in, full of war, disaster and distress. That is also a choice, and this is the "lesser" illusion we're choosing to live in.
Death only exists in life, for people who are living. And people, as long as they are people, are always alive, they never die. Death happens to bodies, never to me. There is never a moment when I will be dead, when the "I" will be dead. After all, otherwise there would be life after death!! But since there's no life after death, there has to be life BEFORE death, always, so that life is ALWAYS alive! This is what it means to have immortal life, distributed across millions and billions of "ego-experiences" across the galaxy.
I think that's pretty cool.

Well then why when we are born do we not have the capacity to even process information like we do now?
The only thing i despise about life is the whole Light/Dark thing
Good Vs. Evil
There is always a fight, a battle.
I'm not hedonistic but i think we are nothing but diluted particles reassambed living through hell

I didn't say we are born perfect - in fact, we don't even die perfect! But since you can't remember the time before you were born means that you have always been alive. Or can you remember a time when you weren't? The same with death: I will never experience death, only perhaps the moments before it.
Then, when one individual is gone, life will go on. And since there's nothing else, we have all the time in the world, no need to stress it.

Reality can be very dark and gloomy sometimes, makes it hard to be positive.

It is how you look at things that make them gloomy, not the nature of the things themselves.

Take it how you will and I don't practice these things as much as I would like to, but being nice to others and creating/ enjoying art are the best things in life to me.
But what do I know- I am only 20. I haven't really experienced much yet.
But since the question of this thread was "whats the best in the world to you ?" I have answered that and am not wrong.
What does everything have to be either deeply cerebral or meaninglessly infantile on this message board? I think a mid-way between these two things needs to be reached.

Everyone's perception of reality is an "unreality" since we construct it in our own heads based on our personal experiences. Although we may share a similar "unreality" (being human and on this earth) that we believe to be reality, none of us really do see things exactly the same and thus you create the type of world you want to inside your head, to an extent.
It is doubtful that any being will ever experience reality for what it really is seeing as there is such a vast existence out there. So just be all that you can be! Thats all we can really do.
By the way how do I make those followup posts?
