Unexistence, while easier, doesn't sound nearly as fun.

We do not actually know that Unexistence would be easier, nor whether or not it would be fun.

I don't intend any disrespect at all. I have attempted suicide and spent plenty of time suicidal. So this is a conclusion I drew in earnestness.

We have no means that I know of to investigate what comes after death, whether or not something survives the physical body, etc. Many people believe in religion and an afterlife or in reincarnation. Others believe nothing survives after the body dies. But, scientifically speaking, we do not actually know.

I am glad you are no longer suicidal.

Peace.

I agree, we don't know what if anything comes after. But we do know what comes right now.

So I figure, why risk it? It could be better, it could be worse, it could be nothing. I have no evidence either way so there's nothing to base the experiment on. And I know that eventually I will find out no matter what I do.

So there really isn't anything to gain from suicide, imho. Better to stay alive as long as possible and do shit om this side.

I also came to this conclusion after much thought.
