I mean jesus christ. Isn't it time to die yet?? I
give this existence a C+... yeah, it could get fantastic
ratings but there are too many things in the way. I am going
to die. Me...

Good. Ahhhhhhh, death. Death is the most beautiful thing
there is. I'll have one complete brain format with a side
order of fries please. Goodbye. Good. Bye. *twiddles
thumbs for another 70 years*

Do you have something against MediCare, clean water,
and good sanitation?

I like sanitation because it keeps things nice and tidy!

I know the number to a good ninja.
He can finish you off for a reasonable price.
Think about the cool inscription you will have on your grave
stone , "killed by a ninja"

that would be crazy because you would die 17 times before
you even realize it. Then you will realize it and die from
shock!

Brain and body format actually. A complete "self"
deletion. No more self. No more self? How could there be no
more, there's always been a self, hasn't there? Well..
things are going to change... and they're going to stay that
way for a long long long time. People rarely realize how
short and temporary our current conscious existence is. Soon
we'll be as conscious and organized as rocks.

ha ha!

So many baby turtles are gobbled by seaguls right after
they're born. That's their life, that's all they
experienced. They got a better feeling for the reality of
the abruptness. Humans just dwell and dwell. Do you know how
long one year is? I'm surprised that it can even be
accurately measured it's so long. One day is long
enough, but noooo, we have to live 70 odd years!

What the hell are we supposed to do during this
glacial period of time? We're practically oak trees.

Don't use such a scientific paradigm, use your intuition and
emotion and you might feel like there always was.

We will dwell and then we will die (probably). Maybe
manufactured or natural, chemical experiences is all we
have.

C+ is average... I'd be happy with a C+... or maybe not.
Life would be a whole lot better if one was allowed complete
freedom in what they do. If I had it, I'd revert into a
grotesque humanoid and wander the streets mumbling to myself
and doing strange things - like talking to a pineapple or
placing grass in detailed patterns along the sidewalk for no
reason at all - and there would be no worries at all for
me.

I think it's extremely sad that people are forced to worry
about things like work and taxes when there's so little time
to do everything they want to - and when they die, none of
that will matter. I'm going to try everything I can to get
out of that - I've already spent way too long working, doing
things I don't like to do, doing the things I do like to do
in the wrong way, and being frightened... By the time I
die, most of my life will have been completely worthless to
me if I don't fix it.

*dies*

Oh life, you plague me so,
so far I've worked out that life is pointless in obscurity
so if you want a good reason to live it's to piss off as
many people as you can by talking to pineapples and creating
odd patterns with grass on the pavement.

Me I like to mess with peoples heads, even if they don't
know it.

I was under the impression his point was that due to the
quality of life, it was too long - otherwise he would have
had no reason to comment on the quality of it, if it would
have been too long under any circumstances.

My idea was to try to improve the quality of it, since
there's not much to do anyway, and really nothing to lose.

Oh, don't worry, there's an afterlife! And if you
promise to always do good things (like annually pay
me 1/4 of your income, and allow me access to your toys and
family's vergions) and never do bad things (like NOT
annually pay me 1/4 of your income, and NOT allow me access
to your toys and family's vergions) you'll get to talk to
pineapples all... day... long... for eternity. That's a
fact. It's written down in this bible here *scribbles down
some words really quick and slaps a bind on it* so you can't
deny it.

Yes some of us prefer talking to strawberries over
pineapples I suppose. They don't understand as well but they
always seem so... optimistic and happy.

i agree.

Being only 20 (1 week < 21) years old....

it is quite a mindfuck to realize that I am only 1/4 (~)
done with my lifetime.

Everything has only amounted to 25%~

The other part of me jumps in and realizes that i only have
75%~ left!!! and then I am thrown into an anxiety attack

some people really imagine atrocious destinies for us after
death... eternal things... suffering forever... or being
under the commandment of god/divinities forever... and some
people even seem to like such ideas o_O

some people can't also even think of a world without them
(it seems very egoistic, but in a way it's understandable
though)...

i prefer having a positive point of view and imagine
marvellous new existences... well... i think i do - but not
that i think of it, when i picture what my new life after
death could be if i could choose it, new body, new
personality etc., i often see myself in not-so-marvellous
situations even if it always ends up good... hmm... i'm no
psychologist at all but maybe these fantasm reveal things
about me...

anyway - i don't know anything about it,
but all these beliefs, myths, maybe facts who knows?... must
be very interesting to analyze... ghosts, for example...
