  Imagine if you got kicked in the nuts and then you stopped existing. You don’t exist, so it can’t hurt and you can’t worry about it what with your non-exisistent mind to not think about it.

  Also, you don’t get a choice. You can worry about the sun setting, but that doesn’t stop it. Just try to enjoy the sunshine while you can and learn to be ok with the fact that night will eventually come.

    The argument was “it happened before so it’s fine” which is an absurd argument, and I’m just pointing out the absurdity.

    “You don’t get a choice so it’s fine” is also an absurd argument. If someone kidnapped me, bound me up, and expressed their intention to cut off my hand, then I would worry about it even if I had no choice. If you’re telling me you wouldn’t be worrying in that situation, you’re a liar or incredibly abnormal. Lack of choice plays nearly no part in the degree of worry.

    What can help alleviate worry is knowledge, but here is a topic that is impossible to learn about.
