Is existence suffering?

[CaptainWacky]

Yes of course it is but what if you had a choice between existing and not before you were born well you'd choose existing of course because at this point you wouldn't have existed and you'd want to try it out first because you have to exist to know that existence is suffering BUT WAIT how could you be presented with this choice anyway when you wouldn't even exist yet you couldn't be, you have to exist to be a person so you would have to exist first before being offered the choice between existing and non-existing however by this point you'd know that existence is suffering so of course you'd chose non-existence but what form would that take: just having all your memories erased and everything you ever were gone well that's DEATH isn't it so maybe that's what death is: a choice between existence and non-existence in which there is only one possible outcome: non-existence.

Yeah there is, its called Heaven.

Delusions!

 

[Loktar]

Delusions!

Its not a delusion. Its faith.

 

[CaptainWacky]

I could have "faith" that one day I will develop Q like powers and be able to force Allison Mack, Anna Paquin and Kelly Clarkson into pleasuring me for eight million years, but that wouldn't make it true. It would be a delusion.

TO SUFFER IS TO LIVE.

How does stroking a fluffy kitten fit your life view, GB?

No, but its a DAMN FINE TUNNEL!!!!

 

[Grammour Boy]

I'm allergic to fluffy kittens. If I weren't I suppose I would relish the experience. It would be one amongst the many happy interludes I experience in between long bouts of suffering.

 

[CaptainWacky]

Why not try hiring an asian woman to tickle your feet?

 

[Grammour Boy]

I will try that and report back. Okay?

 

[CaptainWacky]

You will find it rather pleasurable.

 

[Grammour Boy]

I imagine so. Just thinking about it brings a smile to my face.

Say I'd come to the end of my life and died, but got the choice of whether I wanted to live again or cease to exist, I'd choose life. It's quite a lot of fun, really. And if I'd already been through it once I'd have a good idea of how to avoid suffering.
