What's some really unpopular opinion you have? (lemmings.world)

Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Funny how people asserting that, continues existing to assert that. I find that very inconsistent.

So you don't see a difference between never having existed and killing yourself? Weird.

[–] richieadler@lemmy.myserv.one -3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're the one whining about how to bad existing is. Fixing would be more consistent.

Mind you, I think you're wrong, but at least we would avoid the whining.

There is no fixing, suffering is inherent to sentient existence. Come back to me when you have actually thought about it instead of giving the typicsl knee-jerk reaction of "suicide tho", "whining tho".

I mean, I'm offering you a solution for your pain. But I find absolutely unbearable that you are intent on transmitting your misery and making life worse for everybody else. If you find life unbearable, please do so In silence.

I see you have decided to not think and instead continue to blubber. How trite.

It is difficult to overcome the survival instinct. Being compelled by instinct to continue living is not the same thing as making a conscious decision to continue living.

Yeah, well, that should curtail the holier-than-thou attitude, but curiously it doesn't.
