A question.
If you had a chance to die, without pain, without sorrow, to simply fade out of life, would you take it? If you simply left the world, left behind all of your own sorrow, your own pain... If the world acted almost self-sealing, and life could continue on with no sorrow because of your leaving... Just leave behind a world that will function almost the same without you, let go of all your sorrow, just allow yourself to be wrapped up in white blankness, eternal sleep? No turmoil. No pain. No sorrow. No thoughts to disrupt. Just white blankness, like the softest blankets, wrapped around your consciousness, protecting you, not suffocating you in any way, just comforting you. If the chance to have that came to you, would you take it?

That's the thought I toyed with....
ReplyDeleteI think, that sometimes when I'm down, that I would take it. The world would continue to go on, and I wouldn't be missed. And an existence in limbo, not truly existing and not truly gone, just there, sounds warm, and happily blank...but then I think of all the little things in life that make it worth living, like school, love from your friends, Neopets, lovely stories, butterflies, the beauty of the moment-all those things make life the most precious things on earth. And I wouldn't give that up for anything. Would you? Leave behind this life and all its sorrows but also all its joys for a place of empty comfort? Would you take it?
Now I know why the Twilight Vampires say it's a terrible choice to be a vampire-you'll never be free of the world's pain and suffering, not even having suicide to end it all.
ReplyDeleteNeopets... -mutters darkly- I still haven't forgiven the Pant Devil...
ReplyDeleteThat's the question. Would you be willing to give up all the ups and downs and peaks and valleys of life for a guaranteed calm blankness forever? No amazing, soaring joys, but no horrible black pits either.
I feel sorry for the Twilight Vampires, though I also envy them. But I pity them more. I can't really empathize, though...
True...I think I'd still take life, because trials make you stronger. If you take a person from a rich family, is an only child, and has no difficult things whatsoever in their life, you basically get an a**hole. I'd like to be a good person and enjoy life. I'm just that kind of person. In a way, you're more experienced than me-you've experienced the trials of life. You've suffered really hard hardships. That's why you'd want a blankness and calm rather than face that again. I, on the other hand, has seen less angst, so I'm still adventurous.
ReplyDeleteActually, I'm undecided on my own question. don't worry about cussing, I don't care.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't suffered all the trials life can throw at me. I'm not even an adult yet. But you knew that already.
I'm not sure if I'd want the blankness...
True...this isn't a decision you'd ever be ready to make until you're old and wise and have gone through life and all its aspects.
ReplyDeleteTrue, very true. Once you're old and wise, though, then the point is already mostly gone, you will have already suffered much hardship.
ReplyDeleteAnd much joy. Balance is the core of life.
ReplyDeletePossibly... I am still waiting for all of the angst in my life to get balanced out... instead it's only gotten heavier and made the scale more unbalanced.
ReplyDeleteYour later life will reap the rewards and it'll be all the sweeter. Hopefully. BTW I just thought of something. I actually hate Estelle almost as much as you hate Evan.
ReplyDeleteHopefully.
ReplyDeleteAlmost. There's no equivalent to the hate I harbor towards Evan.
That's why I said almost. Please don't actually kill him. I don't want to lose you.
ReplyDelete...okay. I'll just stab his voodoo doll then.
ReplyDeleteI could join you there and make a really good one.....I'm good with sculpture.....and fabric....and we could dress him in a dress and then stab him! VAHAHAHAHAHA!
ReplyDelete(Evil laugh with Romanian accent)
Vah? -blink- wow that's creative...
ReplyDeleteI just make fabric voodoo dolls. They're easier to stab. But for them to REALLY work well, we'd need this one kind of moss that I found in South Carolina. Hehe. I heard from a friend that it worked, so then I brought some back home, then I made a doll of my Barbie for testing, then when I tore off it's head for fun, the next morning the Barbie didn't have a head anymore. It was rather lulzy. Hehe. But I don't have anymore of the moss, I already used it up... :(
Sad...
ReplyDeleteI know... Oh! I just had an epiphany! We can run to South Carolina, grab a truckload of moss, steal a truck, drive it here, drop off the moss then drive the truck back, give it back, then run back! Lol jk.
