In the same way as someone giving you the clap! I don't understand this reasoning. No one asked for this. Life is more like a sentence than a gift. We'd all be fine never having existed. Ok rant over. Help me try and see this perspective gaf. That's not to say I don't try to enjoy this sentence I'm already here might as well make the best of it.

Neogaf is the prison - just beyond these walls are open plains, blue skies, majestic trees and hotties that aren't made of pixels. Yet even though we could just walk out, we stay.

"These walls are funny. First you hate 'em, then you get used to 'em. Enough time passes, you get so you depend on them. That's institutionalized."

Better to exist than not exist.

In about half an hour I got to run out and do some last minute errands to prep for various holiday dinners next week. At the same time, I'm going to stop off at McDonalds and grab a Big Mac combo on deal + I get free fries on top of it since Raptors scored 10 3-pters last night. So I'll really be getting double fries. Combine it with an orange Fruitopia and life is good!

I'm actually more excited about that greasy lunch than my inv condo I just sold and should make close to $200k net profit after all closing costs and income tax. lol

Not getting any sex?

Hopefully find some sweet puss-puss/throbbing schlanger soon.

Have a blessed day, brother, and enjoy the miracle of life!

In the scale of the age of the universe we are here for a few moments, so like it or not it is rare and precious. Each of us is unique. So the only real choice we all have is whether to not not make the best of it.

I don't have anhedonia and I don't want to die right now. I just as soon would have prefered to not exist. There's a distinction there.
French philosopher Auguste Comte argues that the human mind goes through three stages of development:

The first one is theology.
The second one is metaphysics.
The third stage, the adult mind, is positivism.

A juvenile mind would ask, what the reason for life is and who created it. The adult mind would think about ways to improve life for himself and others.

Think of it like a kid who believes in Santa Claus, a young adult who questions the purpose of Christmas, and a parent who just wants to see their kids happy on Christmas morning.

I screwed myself. I thought I’d get free extra fries from the raptors game. But the game was two days ago! It was valid yesterday.

Best $9 I’ve spent in a long time!

How can you prefer not to exist when you have no idea what the absence of existing feels like? Your circumstances might incline you to think like this, but this is still dangerous suicidal rhetoric.

Not existing would be not existing of course you can't perceive not existing if you don't exist. Where is the flaw

Perspective is a bitch, like we can know we're *blessed* in a lot of ways but still focus on what's dragging us down.

Psychedelics could help you break out of those negative thought patterns. Everyone will accumulate some trauma during their lifetime that drags them down. Psychedelics can help clear some of that sticky mental goop away by giving you a break from your ego for a night and experience the universe from a fresh perspective that's outside of your own head.

I want you to feel better, friend! Maybe there's something tucked in the bottom of the gift box under all the tissue paper you didn't see at first or forgot about, maybe you just need a little shift in perspective!

I am happy-ish or shall we say content now that I've left my situation. I guess I can see life as a gift but not everyone wanted that "gift".

Life is a gift your parents gave it to you. You were also wonderfully made by your creator. As for what purpose some you have to figure it out and some to bring the creator glory.
