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 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.
Too a stupid to die.
I’m not sure whether I’m too stupid one way or the other, but at least I know I’m stupid.
to spite entropy
Cheers, mate.
I need to set my kids up with a better start than I had.
Because why not? I’m alive by default, and I’m too lazy to change that.
I’m really enjoying my life and I’m happy. I wouldn’t trade that for anything!
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.
have you tried gambling? you might really enjoy that one
noooo, never. because i know myself i have a hard rule to never ever try gambling, casinos, and the like.
Honestly? Not sure. More afraid of missing out than anything else.
what else ya gonna do? passes the time.
Death scares the shit out of me.
Plus, I’ll get there eventually. No point in rushing.
I’ll get there eventually
Wow, the hubris is real. Ever heard of impostor’s syndrome? Because you obviously don’t suffer from it
My niece is starting to get old enough that, even if I leave a note asking them to tell her I was in an accident, I think she’d catch on. We’re not super close but I’m not sure what it does to a kid’s psych to learn people in their family can do that. I have VERY strong feelings about people who refuse to protect children, so unfortunately I’m here for a while.
I thought I’d just travel a bit and do nothing until I’m broke before I end it, but life was great then. Now I’ve sacrificed 10+ years trying to save some money for who knows what. Got to make it worth the sacrifice before I go
My boss would be really mad if I tried to not come in for that long
Because I know how much my funeral would suck
Living is fun and I have people I love and care for deeply, that make me see the world through alternative angles that deepen my appreciation.
