death i think the problem is that a lot of people dont understand or realize the gravity and weight and impact that death is and has.

i suppose many have ideas of an afterlife and whatnot, but i dont see that, i dont believe in an after, at the very least theres no solid evidence for such a comforting end. so to me thats it, the moment its done, its done.

wrapping my head around the idea that you just stop existing, there is no experience of death.


people see it as a punishment, as if somebody can experience death, as if a lesson can be learned from it.

call me a moron or whatever for being a pacifist but i just think to foster a more peaceful and kind and loving world, it cant be built on blood.

re: death @nellePoint i feel the same, but i do think its important to recognize that under capitalism, the state violence serves an important function, and that the people who maintain those systems are unlikely to leave power without some sort of fight. thats the irony of it all i suppose

death @nellePoint not to quote something you already revere, but "people are time-haunted creatures, heidegen said that". Yes, death is something inherent to us, fear of it is an inevitability, and a phobia of death is not entirely uncommon. But sometimes, at some point, I think existence and experience of the world can be too much. When you get old enough, when one's life is worn and strained, haunted by the years come by, existence stopping doesn't sound so bad
