Feeling empowered and superior through death

I am an atheist who knows that, even though life is about not giving up and ending your life, I actually feel otherwise and I will present a compelling reason as to why:

There is something in life that I absolutely hate and wish to be superior to which would be acceptance of major problems in life (such as if I had to live the rest of my life in a hospital bed with cancer or live my entire life with little to no ability to experience pleasure from a mental condition known as anhedonia or depression). This sense of superiority can come in 2 forms: 1.) Having delusional fantasies and living a happy life not having to deal with these problems or 2.) Actually using a hard cold fact of reality to my advantage such as that, since there is no point in living and that we are just all going to forever die in the end anyway, instead of being someone who accepts major problems in life and continues to live on anyway, I will become a cold hard bastard and decide to do what I want by ending my pointless life. The cold hard fact of reality that since we are forever going to die in the end and that we might as well just kill ourselves, this is actually something liberating to me and I can use this fact of reality to become superior to acceptance of reality’s major problems. I would have given up and died. But at least I have given up and died as someone superior. I would actually feel empowered and superior for deciding to have given up and killed myself and feel that this cold hard fact of reality I stated is my best friend since I can use it to my advantage here.

Most people would not only consider those who give up and end their lives to be cowardly (weak), but they would also consider those who don’t deal with such problems and escape such problems through delusional fantasies to be cowardly as well. But I, on the other hand, do not feel cowardly (weak). Instead, I feel the opposite which would be feeling empowered by those things. Therefore, since I feel empowered instead of cowardly (weak), this is what makes me the opposite of cowardly (weak) in that I would instead be a powerful human being.

@jespah,

Now there are two forms of strength in life: 1.) Deciding to live on in life anyway and never give up as well as for the sake of other people, or 2.) Giving yourself a sense of self-empowerment through death and ending your life.

Both forms of strength are just as good and I have found my own strength in life (which would be #2). You also have to consider the mindset I am having in deciding to end my life before you just jump to the conclusion that it is something cowardly (providing that anyone here would think so). I would not be giving up because life is too much (which might be considered something cowardly, but you have no right to tell these people that they are weak and cowardly. If you would know what it is like to live with the worst possible suffering, then I bet you wouldn’t say that).

As I just stated, I would not be cowardly and giving up because life is too much. Rather, I would have a powerful totalitarian dictator personality in wanting to end all things inferior in my life (just like how Hitler wanted to end all of the Jews that he perceived as inferior. Except, that I am not like Hitler in the sense that I value other human beings, but I am Hitler in the sense that I wish to “kill” inferior problems in my life). Therefore, to end my inferior problems in life if they are something major, then I would obviously choose to end my life.

@MozartLink,

There is some kind of mind set in people that belive that heir own problems are the worst, and that they solely suffer and that no one can ever understand them. there is no worst foolish concept than this.

Life is granted without asking for it, no one asks to be born. It happens abruptly, me stay on a stasis 9 month period inside a highly evolutionated awesome nursing ballon, and from the moment of birth our bodies are saturated by stimuli from the world. Heat, loud noises, darkness, bright lights. This, we like it or not, is life. Life is experienced through our senses, trough our feelings, through our toughts. There is a reason why we remember this experience, because they grant us the possibility to react. This intelligence we have evolved from a huge necesity to modify our enviroment or ourselves to survive. We got this experiences and manage to make ourselves through adversity.

Death is the blind stop of the stimuli record. There is nothing beyond (unless you belive in an afterlife). What we tought what we knew what ewe learnt, is lost forever. t doesn´t matters if it was a good life or a bad one, it all ends the same. So why end it by our own hand? Then what was the point for even starting? That is, tehre is nopoin to begin living, because we during this time of living we end up finding our own personal motif.

You are right in part, it is not cowardice to end our life because we fear death. Suicides fear life the most. Fearing life is the maximum cowardice. It is the equivalent of a recently born baby that screams because the light of the labor room scares him, and just decides to stop his hearth beat. Because the stimuli was unbearable.

I understand that there are depressed patients that do commit suiced. They are not cowards in the same way, because they chemically lack the capacity of function of their self preservation perception in their brains. So they are different to those i talk about on my last parragraphs, please do not mix them.

The cool thing bout empowering yourself through suicide is that it relieves the rest of us of the necessity of dealing with your bullsh*t. My sincere thanks.

That's a narrow minded way of looking at things. Some find enjoyment in defying their odds and conventionality. Some live for the sake of their hearts desire or endeavor....and change the world's view without intending to do so.

Well, I suppose if you are inherantly useless and impotent, with nothing of value to offer by continuing, your assertion does make sense in a sophomoric way..
