You can’t “experience” nothingness. Even if you could, you can fear things you’ve experienced before…
Fear not, and enjoy this mere interlude to its fullest!

what i’m scared of is not getting to experience things, the fact that i missed out on history isn’t much better but at least that was rather difficult to do anything about…
AFallingAnvil@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Living in recent times, there’s a lot of historic events happening I’d rather not be around for. Just wait until the climate collapse stops playing around with foreshadowing and the dildo of consequences arrives

I’m not

Memes like this just make me get anxious thinking about the past
Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Hey, remember when Hitler invaded Poland?
Hey, remember when Trump invaded Greenland? Oh. Right. That’s called foreshadowing.

I used to think I didn’t dream, eventually I realized that the blissful nothingness I (don’t) experience between sleeping and waking up was the dream.
DarkCloud@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Keep a dream journal, eventually you’ll start remembering them.

Oh boy, sleep! That’s where I’m a Viking!
Grostleton@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Ah, I don’t believe it’s a case of not remembering.
Many nights I simply do not dream of anything at all, or at least when I wake up I have absolutely no recollection of dreaming about something.
I do also have dreams that fade after awhile as you’d expect, and have occasionally written down things I found interesting about them, but overall my dreams are an infrequent occurrence.

I had nothing to lose before I was born. There is the difference.
Geodad@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
And there’s nothing that you can do to keep from losing what you have.
Acceptance is the way to a happy life.
melsaskca@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
I’m happy. I’m just pointing out that there is a difference.
MrScottyTay@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Because it was terrifying to be in a state of nonexistence. Thinking about not having what i currently have or even the fact that I’m very much likely not even going to have a state of being where i can even remember the things i had done in my life is truly fucking terrifying to me.

You know. This oddly actually makes me feel a bit better about this.

Fear not, the dark, my friend. And let the feast begin.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
A feast in the dark? Ehhh… :/

Put a light on. Less messy.

Everyone should be afraid of the judgement in the Realm afterwards!!! :-(
Godric@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Which judgement? Are we reincarnated into a form based upon our virtue? Are we trying to die a glorious warrior to feast with Wotan? Does “the god” demand blood sacrifice, killing all? Do we turn the other cheek to vibe with Yaweh? Do we simply sink into the potter’s ground, destined to have our current atoms remade, even though we are a single drop of rain, or shall we remain?

Idk if I follow the logic.

Let me go back to my eternal slumber
hedge_lord@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
My current self wants to look at more cute bees and sniff more sunflowers. It doesn’t matter if my future self wouldn’t care (on account of not existing), my current self still really wants to do more of that.

Amen

Because if I die I’ll miss the rest of the Kingkiller Chronicles.
They will surely release any day now.
Digit@lemmy.wtf 2 weeks ago
And the next Boards of Canada album.
Godric@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Any day now, just like winds of winter. Just hold on…
chunes@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
seems much more likely that someone new will be born after I die and experience life.

Even these days?
I admire your optimism. ;D

By the time I get there I’ll probably be begging for it.
