...is not existing better than death?

...I think they both mean the same thing. Right?

[theincrediblevi.livejournal.com]

Not really. I mean, death comes with whatever kind of afterlife wheras not existing just.... isn't existing.

[heopenedthedoor.livejournal.com]

I don't know if there's such thing as an afterlife...

If someone doesn't exist, then how could the person live with himself, or herself?

[theincrediblevi.livejournal.com]

That's sort of the upside of the not existing part.

[heopenedthedoor.livejournal.com]

... Huh?

Afterlife is sort of the upside of not existing? What--Why would you be concerned about stuff like this? Most people think about what they want to do with their lives. They know they can't live forever, and worry about dying when that comes.

... You're not...are you?

[theincrediblevi.livejournal.com]

...kind of. The upside of not existing is not having to go to some metaphysical torture chamber. I'm told I have some time, but not much...

[heopenedthedoor.livejournal.com]

That must be really painful. Anything with torture in it is always bad.

...You're sick? There's no cure, or anything? ...How long do you have to live?

I can't tell the difference, myself.

[theincrediblevi.livejournal.com]

Really? I figure you'd know if you didn't exist, but the one person who could tell me won't.

[alwaysbeenhere.livejournal.com]

There's a difference between not existing and no one believing that you exist. Either way, everyone ignores you.

[theincrediblevi.livejournal.com]

Aww. That's gotta suck. People have tried to ignore me, but I make it way hard on them. Have you tried blowing up the cat?

[alwaysbeenhere.livejournal.com]

Ha! If we had a cat, my mom probably would have killed it by now. Or my sister would have sold it for drugs.

[theincrediblevi.livejournal.com]

Blow up your mom?

...JUST KIDDING. Experiments should be conducted on non-living objects or, at the least, non-talking animals, not family members. I had that one drilled into me often enough as a kid...
