A thought experiment?:idontknow:
Many of us are depressed and dealing with our own dire circumstances without needing to imagine ourselves in an even further disasterous life with no hope at all.:idontknow:
I don't understand the point of this?

Well, I don't know how long I'd last, but maybe that wouldn't be a reason to kill myself. To me life, at its core, is a meaningless succession of activites that become so since they lead to a common end, and sometimes that makes me wonder 'is it worth bothering?'. However, as long as that notion doesn't hit too hard, I can manage to carry on with my routine and with that which I'm supposed to accomplish.

Well I followed your instructions, it wasn't easy, but I tried my best to imagine what you mentioned. It seemed like I was staring into the abyss. It felt like all hope was slipping away from me, and my demise was imminent. But then, I imagined I was eating a bar of chocolate, and I started to feel great again. I also imagined I was Hugh Hefner (just not as lecherous) and the playboy bunnies wanted to ravish me. But I said no, not tonight, I have a headache.

I guess the point I’m making, or trying to, I just can't bring myself to think in such a negative way. No matter how bad my situation may seem, I always try to cling on to something positive. Every Storm Cloud Has A Silver Lining.

Lol and this is precisely why I didn't comment on this post because I can not and would not want to even imagine that kind of hopeless, negative existence.

I'd probably just stay in doors and play video games all day.

How Long Will You Last?
