The reason I choose to continue living is that I only have one chance to inhabit a mortal body in this world so I’d like to see it through for as long as I can. What’s yours?

    I’m just in trial mode. I tried to quit in January, but randomness stoped it. Now I’m just testing if there is something worth it. So far, is not that good, but I’m still halfway the trial.

      Randomness ? something tells me you’re not the kind of person to identify jesus on a toast… I don’t believe in meaning personally, but each day passing has its lot of discoveries on the universe, space, other planets, etc. to me it’s a bit of a race, I want to live long enough to see more photos from Enceladus, Titan, learn whether there are simple lifeforms over there, witness the birth of a convincing unified physical model, I want to see humankind figure out dark matter at last, etc. I’m just dying to know. But I’ll most likely die before I do. Here check out http://spacedaily.com/

    If I had a turn off button on my back like a toy I would had pushed it long ago…

    Suicide is too painful. That’s it. Also my mom’s food still nice.

    I have a chance, albeit a very small one, to make the world a place other people don’t want to exit if I’m alive. Can’t do that if I’m dead. But I would probably want to be euthanised if I started living a painful or disabled life.

      I like the first half of your comment, but the second is really hard to swallow. I guess you meant “severe” or “debilitatingly” painful/disabled life, and I don’t think you meant malice in what you’re saying - but I know some people living with disabilities that would see your comment as calling them worthless.

        Oh no, I’m not saying anyone should feel any way, this is just my preference. And I did mean severe pain or disability, yes.

    At my lowest:

    • I wanted to get out of the pit just so I could help others get out too. But I’d admit I haven’t actually realised this commitment. I just ask people how they feel and try to listen to everyone.
    • I did not want to give anyone the pleasure to know that I gave up, that I could not take it anymore. That they won.
    • I’d prefer to not cause suffering to my loved ones.

    Now, I think life is both a gift and a responsability. And, right now, I want to fulfill this responsability I have towards others.

    Anyways, I wish you all an existence that is worth going through.

    im a garden and landscape builder and my greatest pleasure in life is seeing things grow and progress.

    a few months ago I connected with a group of incredibly nice people and seeing these people grow every day of their life, bringing in new people and change with them, that is my lifeline right now.

    if I was to reincarnate, please let me be a hobbit in the 4th age.

    sunk cost fallacy. i’m in too deep to stop now. really, this is how i manage everything. once the smallest amount of time has been invested in something there’s no stopping til i see it through.
