Would you?

[xxAngelOnFirexx]

If you had the chance to just disappear right now-erasing your entire exsistance so no one would be sad you left- would you?

It's not exactly 'suicide'. it's just disappearing. like do you wish you were never born?

it's not supposed to be depressing. just interesting. like has all the good thigns in your life cancelled out the bad?


I would say that i probably would. life's tough. i would have rather reincarnated as a cat again...

Until we all just get old and die

And living's just a waste of death"

lol... even when life is hard, I'd never give up on it... the struggle is what makes it so interesting. As a matter of fact, the only time I'd ever consider "disappearing" is if life got really easy (boring). :icon_bigg

I have wished i could do it all the time. Then I would be free to do everything i want, i wouldn't have to worry about telling my parents who i am

you are so strong and optimistic, Swimmerboy.:eusa_clap :thumbsup:

Nope, I would not erase my existence. It's the ups and downs that make life worth living, and as bad as it seems sometimes, it is just as much the downs as the ups that make me who I am. The trick is to survive the downs to help someone else when they hit their down times. God gave me a purpose, and I am happy with that.

[wtinal]

No, I would not erase my existence. Sometimes my life seems boring or insignificant, but out of my humanness my view is very narrow for the impact I have in this world. xequar said it well, "God gave me a purpose......" Sometimes I don't know what that purpose is, but I know it is there. I know people who think there life is nothing special, and then they have a huge impact on those around them in positive ways - not stars, just ordinary, everyday people.

[Steam Giant]

If this were like two months ago, I would have said yes. Now, I've learned how to enjoy life, if for nothing else, for the small, beautiful things in it ^^

[darkness]

No, I wouldn't I know I am here for a reason and I know what it is..... I was blessed with a heart to help animals and kids in need and I will make use of that love until the day I die....

Wow Look At All The Happy People!

(don't Feel Like Turning The Caps Off)

[SpikySpice]

I will say NO, never. Even tho life is like a canon, I wont dissapear, cuz it is nice when you get challenges, they make you strong. I dont expect the bad, but I respect em, because without any bad, sad, mad things happen, I wont even know that this life is meaningful

Sometimes life is so bored cuz you only experience happy moments, believe me, cuz if there are bad things happen, you will find that good things are valuable when they come to you

So I'm having a bad experience now, but thanks to it, anyway

I wrote this a long time ago but this thread made me think of it.

Shadow

I am fading into the backround,
As the colors swirl and mix.
I am slowly disappearing,
It is something no one can fix.

I am fading away from reality,
I can't distinguish my dreams.
This world that I'm living in,
Is more crazy than it seems.

Soon I'm going to disappear,
And no ones going to care.
For some one once told me,
That life is not fair.

[justjoshoh]

No, it really is a wonderful life. Even if there are times that are frustrating, either because Uncle Billy loses the money or whatever it is that is straining your patience in life; it is better to play the hand dealt than to have never been dealt into the game.

[SpikySpice]

Hmmm I found out that your poem has some meaningful things in it, and you reminds me of my dark poem too. It was the first thing ever I posted on EC

The Dark World

Trying to open my eyes
As wide as they could be
But the darkness of the night
Is always wrapping over me

Through my eyes, the world is burning
Into pieces, falling to the ground
Tear from heaven is falling
But couldn’t put out the fire around

What everybody is doing
Is to scratch and tear my skin
Oh, please stop, your nails are hurting
But it was not really my sin

Dark shadow moving around
Like ghosts trying to scare me
I was searching for the sound
Of the littlest heartbeat in me

I’m totally lost in the dark
Where angles could never reach
My bones are falling apart
As people playing hide and seek

Why do they only give me lies?
No love, no warmness, nothing
Alone and lonely in the cold night
I don’t know what I am searching

I can’t believe how dumb my eyes are
Only see everything as sweetness
While people leaving me scars
Sadness, depress, a big mess, stress

But I swear that I won’t cry
Because my eyes are all dried
I swear I won’t want to die
And just wanna survive the nights...

[joeyconnick]

That's a really excellent, interesting question.

I wouldn't want to retroactively cease to exist... I'm kinda attached to being alive, even if it means I sometimes suffer, and I know for sure I've had a huge impact on a lot of people, so I wouldn't want to negate that. And I've always felt like I'm here for a reason (in my case, nothing to do with any "God"), even though I have no real idea what that reason is, 33 years in. *grin*

[SadConfusedBandGeek]

OMG i would not like to disappear!! I <3 My Life, and cherish it and and so thankful for it every day!

[Jim1454]

Life does deliver it's challenges, and at times I wonder if I've had a net positive or a net negative impact on the world... but we have to focus on the future as opposed to the past. In fact, the only day that you can have any impact on is TODAY - so that's what I'm trying to focus on these days.

[xxAngelOnFirexx]

for the past three years i asked myself this question everyday and i always answered yes. i've been better lately but i still answer the same.

[aprilblue426]

well, if i had never been born then i wouldn't have known what it's like to live. but, because i DO know what it's like to live and experience different things (good AND bad), even though life's pretty tough at times, i wouldn't ever give up the good stuff :p
like riding my first rollercoaster. and the millions to come after that! hee hee...

[aprilblue426]

angelonfire, u may feel this way now, and i feel for ya, man. but later on things might get better, u just gotta stick around long enough to find out.
...i feel reaaaalllyy uncomfortable saying this right now...but it's not like im ever gonna actually meet u guys or anything, soooo...here goes. if this helps u, i actually did try to commit suicide (not saying the method.) but failed. and im glad i didn't, cuz otherwise i would've missed out on knowing and loving a great person, besides all the great times that came after. *yeah. awkward...*
soooo...don't really think i helped much, buuuttt...yeah.

[Sugar]

Yah, if it was a year back i probably would have said yes (I use to cut/tried suicide). But going through all I've been through, bad and good, makes me love life so much that i would never be able to give it up. It gets really hard sometimes but I know that things do get better with time. Everything changes, how you feel, who you are, everyone around you, it's all impermanent. So you may be unhappy with stuff one day and sooner or later you could be ecstatic. And being happy once and awhile sure beats never existing :)

i can't even count on all my fingers and toes how many times i've tried sucide. i beleive it is near 50...

I actually had dreams where I went back in time and prevented the deaths of both of my grandmother and sister. In preventing my sister's death, I would be preventing my birth in the prossess. I would do it in a heart beat if I had the chance though.
