Yep, life's just pain and misery and terror and boohoohoo. Man up dude, you live in a first world country, life is fun, it may be pointless but there's lots of great emotions to be felt and things to be learned and feel good about knowing. A baby born here is going to be much happier than one in Africa, not everyone grows up miserable. And if you think life is such shit strive to make it better for everyone, give your life meaning, help the millions of people you talked about.

Be happy :)

@EpicFailureFilms 'Man up' by espousing the exposure to sometimes horrible risks by someone other than myself? If I throw someone into a lion's pit, does that make me more of a man? And your baby statement makes no sense; you're talking generalities. There are plenty of suffering people everywhere. It doesn't matter if not everyone grows up miserable. What matters is that some do, and the shit can hit the fan in ANY life, at ANY time. It's not under our control.

Nobody asks to come into this world. Frankly, I don't want to bring anyone into this world. They can't consent to come into this world.  Besides, humanity's gonna go extinct one day anyway (read about "proton decay" on an astronomy website). So why reproduce in the first place?

Besides, I disagree with too much of human nature for me to contribute my sperm to humanity's upkeep.

[metamorphhh]

I agree with you completely.

[ouzzapyre]

you are totally right!

[metamorphhh]

Yes, I am! LOLOL! Thanks.

Those who are allready convinced?

Anyways, I don't see how realising that life is tragic equates to wanting to die. To me (and obviously, also to the billions being delusional over it), death is what makes life pointless. All you've achieved, all you've gathered, all you love and all you know; it all vanishes. Life is one long struggle from inexistence to inexistence. With death, all one has endured through life proves to be for naught.

And, without exception, all who live, die eventually.

@filrabat BRAVO!

@metamorphhh So does it feel good to advocate an ideology that, if embraced by the world's populace, would cause a worse outcome than if virtually any of the world's religions were?

[DogsneedpIeasuretoo]

Your argument is illogical.

Both suicide and natural death harms people around you.

If you really think humanity should die (slowly) what does it mater if you do it faster?

Take your own life and probably take as many life as you can with you.

Not suiciding goes against your own beliefs, it makes no sense.

@theantinatalist

What a bizzare and difficult to fathom perspective, unless maybe you believe in a soul that would exist even without being brought in to this world? are not the good parts of life worth the bad parts? if you disagree, I think you need a little more wisdom and understanding of yourself.

Giving birth to a child is the most selfish act a human can commit. That child did not ask to be put here. However adoption (especially an older child or teenager) is one of the most selfless acts of humanity. You are taking care of a complete stranger already here,and that child needs someone to give a damn about them.

@EpicFailureFilms "The ideal of Morality has no more dangerous rival than the ideal of highest Strength, of most powerful life; which also has been named (very falsely as it was there meant) the ideal of poetic greatness. It is the maximum of the savage; and has, in these times, gained, precisely among the greatest weaklings, very many proselytes. By this ideal, man becomes a Beast-Spirit, a Mixture; whose brutal wit has, for weaklings, a brutal power of attraction." -- Novalis
