What if we get born into a worst life than the one we have?

[affirmatice]

I mean I guess it's debatable if anyone is living worse lives than us.

I guess objectively it's true there are definitely a ton of people living worse lives than me.

But at the same time, these people aren't CTB and most probably don't even consider CTB.

Like South Korea is a developed country yet has one of the highest suicide rates.

I guess it's all about how you feel about yourself… anyways what comes after death is something that's been on my mind a lot. I guess technically if I got reborn it could be in a far worse situation.

But at the same time, it's not like I'll remember anything. And it's also not like it's preventable. Whether CTB now or dying of natural causes in 50 years. Chances of being reborn are the same

My lives are probably just repeated ctb's or something

this scares me too; I have such a fear that if I ctb I'll be "punished"

It is evident that this existence ends with a flat electroencephalogram. What should there be beyond the flat EEG? If there was something we will see this thing. The afterlife is a fairy tale invented by humans incapable of accepting the end of existence.

even if reincarnation were possible (which I don't think it is) you wouldn't be able to remember your last life. In essence, that means you would never know you were you.

lol i literally had this same thought. Like what if some higher power or something cursed every life to always end this way... well I hope not but

I don't necessarily believe in an afterlife.

But before you were born, you were dead. So you went from a state of non existing to existing. Whose to say that after you die, you cannot repeat that transformation of going from non existing to existing.

Of course you would not remember anything, in the same way that if you lived a previous life, you do not remember that. who knows.. I don't want to get too philosophical.

This fear was injected into me by my old best friend when Ive told her for the first time that I'm suicidal. She went like "That's not something to talk about in such an open space, you dumbass. Even if you decided to commit it, aren't you scared of what comes next? What if there's nothing? What if you end up in hell or reincarnate into a worse life? Aren't you scared of it? Think about it, idiot". Those words sit so much in my mind whenever I think what comes after we die.

I'm not a believer of any religion and not spiritual at all. So I don't believe in reincarnation from that perspective.

More like from a scientific perspective. It's clearly possible to go from non-existence to consciousness. Thus, in my opinion, it makes sense to assume that after we die, that same transformation is possible. Similarly, we are here right now, conscious and experiencing stuff. I cannot prove or disprove that "I" have been a live before, maybe as George Washington.

probably doesn't make sense to think about these things as they will lead nowhere, but it's still a fear

 

[FuneralCry]

I don't believe in such but rather I just believe death to be non-existence which is all I wish for, I'd never wish to suffer in this futile and torturous existence no matter what and what I ultimately see as the true problem is existence itself. I find existing to be deeply undesirable and I suffer simply from existing which is why ceasing to exist is all I hope for, I only want to never exist again and as long as I exist I'll only ever wish for death, I only wish for an eternal, dreamless sleep free from all pain and suffering.

 

[JustAnx]

If that' the case, i hope that at least i'm stronger than in this one.
