You could have brains that don't experience pain and suffering. So when you get stabbed, you die, but you don't experience any pain, grief, or suffering.
He could of at least created a world where there is no suffering so that people who end up making foolish choices won't suffer from them. There are innocent people who make foolish choices that destroy their lives and cause them much suffering. They didn't know that such choices would cause...
I am someone who does not wish to suffer. I am someone who only wishes to be happy and to enjoy my life. My happiness and well-being is what is vital to me and this experience is who I am. I do not value a life of depression and misery. That is not who I am.
I am going to give an example...
My mom wants me to be happy. She doesn't want me to suffer. If she had the choice right now, she would choose to give me an eternal blissful life that has no suffering since she realizes just how important my happiness and well-being is to me. That would be a truly loving parent (or, in this...
Yes, you are right. But many people think that if there is a God who would cause us suffering, that this would somehow be a loving God and this topic I have made is a means to debunk this nonsensical claim.
That's just your own personal view. That does not apply to everyone. Some people only value a life that is blissful, free of suffering/misery, and only consists of happy and fun challenges and no painful/miserable challenges. Everyone is different and if there is a God out there, then a...
I did not mean to insult you. I am just pointing out that regardless of how much you continued on and persevered through a life of suffering and hardship (you not giving up on trying to be a good person), this still does not negate my own personal take on suffering being cruel, pointless, life...
I lived a blissful life in the past with no major suffering in my life. It was the greatest life for me. It was the greatest life worth living to me. So no, not everyone who has their lives easy think that their lives are not worth living. Quite the contrary. Many people who are happy, have...
I will reiterate my point one last time in this topic. It is a much more brief topic. Therefore, it is bound to have more replies rather than people ignoring it. So this is my last topic in which this point will be made. I hear people say that suffering is inflicted upon us for our own...
So you can see why being an immortal divine entity is so important to me. I wish to be nothing but sheer eternal love, joy, and bliss that is free of all suffering, misery, and negative experiences. Hopefully this is not just some fancy wishful thinking. I hope it is true, but I remain unsure.
Actually, I did have it all one way for many years of my life. I lived a blissful life that was free of any major suffering or misery. It was the greatest life for me. I never grew tired of it and it never became stale to me. But later on in life, I started to have serious problems. I...
I can't choose what to believe. Belief is not a choice. I am agnostic though and don't know yet if the afterlife exists. But it is my hedonistic pleasure (my happiness), well-being, and longevity that is important here. In other words, a life where I can live forever, be forever happy, and...
From the spiritual perspective of us being eternal souls, it would be quite degrading for us to be reduced to biological life forms that just live, die, and forever decay. This is because this spiritual perspective attributes higher value to us as human beings. For that value to be degraded...
It is just degrading of our human value, in my opinion, to just be biological life forms that are here for a short period, suffer, die, and then forever decay. But if we were eternal divine blissful souls, that would be honoring us as human beings. It would be full respect and honor towards us.
It is only those said actions and personality traits that are geared towards the pursuit of your own happiness and well-being that makes you a great person. But those actions and personality traits that are instead geared towards the sacrificing of your happiness and well-being or those that...
Some say that it is not since we as human beings have a strong survival instinct. However, I say it is natural. Some people value a life of bliss over this survival instinct. In other words, some people don't have the urge and desire to survive (live life). Their only reason for living is to...
The only thing that is of value in life and the only thing that determines your value as a human being is your happiness and well-being. If you are living a blissful life and everything is going great in your life, then that is the only thing that matters in life and that is the only thing that...
Some would say that it makes no sense to say that life is meaningless without an eternal blissful afterlife. That it would be no different than finite things which can be meaningful such as a game or a movie. Even though they don't last forever, they can be meaningful.
But if you got a game...
