View Full Version : Cease To Exist - Yes or No? darksidZz 03-16-07, 04:11 PM It's a private poll, intended merely to demonstrate how many of you are really happy or not. The question is this, if you could cease to exist, removing yourself from this plane of life, would you? There are a few choices given, either cease to exist and remove all traces you did exist, or cease to exist and leave traces of yourself behind. draqon 03-16-07, 07:38 PM choose to exists (have a child) cease to exist (be alone and childless) Prince_James 03-17-07, 12:00 AM Choose to exist. Killjoy 03-17-07, 12:07 AM ` I would choose to make 'derenzi and all trace of 'derenzi cease to exist... :D nietzschefan 03-17-07, 01:50 PM choose to exists (have a child) cease to exist (be alone and childless) You are a young fool. You have no idea. EndLightEnd 03-17-07, 03:16 PM You are a young fool. You have no idea. Why so harsh? nietzschefan 03-18-07, 06:40 PM I guess it was somewhat harsh. I do not apologize though. Alexander the great had no children(that survived anyway), yet affected the world more than 10000 Mormons bearing 10 kids each. Most people are not even remembered by great grandkids. Forgotten nearly absolutely. It was a foolish statement. Yorda 03-18-07, 11:55 PM cease to exist would be great... but because i don't exist in the first place, it's impossible. Killjoy 03-19-07, 01:04 AM cease to exist would be great... but because i don't exist in the first place, it's impossible. Crikey !! Oy sees sum toy-pin' ! Oy must be 'all-ew-ci-nay-tin' ! ;) Ogmios 03-20-07, 05:47 PM To be. Why quit NOW?! one_raven 03-20-07, 06:45 PM Wishing to cease to exist does not necessarily imply that someone is not happy. In fact, it could be the complete opposite. redarmy11 03-20-07, 06:48 PM But probably not. one_raven 03-20-07, 07:36 PM But probably not. I wouldn't say that. There have been quite a few Buddhists and Hindu's in the world who would disagree. So would I. Yorda 03-20-07, 08:23 PM buddhis and hindus are not happy because they wish to die all the time but they never do... one_raven 03-20-07, 11:23 PM buddhis and hindus are not happy because they wish to die all the time but they never do... Perhaps they are happy, and you simply do not understand or appreciate their happiness? Yorda 03-21-07, 12:42 PM i don't understand how they could be happy as long as they exist since their greatest wish is to stop existing. i wish the same thing and i'm not happy because i keep reincarnating all the time heliocentric 03-22-07, 10:38 AM Id rather exist but in an un-limited material form. one_raven 03-22-07, 10:41 AM i don't understand how they could be happy as long as they exist since their greatest wish is to stop existing. i wish the same thing and i'm not happy because i keep reincarnating all the time Just because you don't understand how it is, that doesn't mean it is not - it means nothing more than you don't understand how it is. I am happy. I am also ready to escape samsara (if such a thing does exist). In fact, I wasn't happy UNTIL I found myself ready. |
