What a selfish thought. What a self contradicting thought. Nothing is worse than life on earth. To fall into nothingness would be to lose oneself, everything learned, all knowledge gained, all gone.
How easy it is to believe death would be better than anything else. That death can solve all of one's problems. What proof do we have that validates the theory that death is easier than life? Where are the testimonials of those lost, gone from this world? Words have been spoken on behalf of the dead to bring despair to the living. To further romanticize such as preposterous an idea as death being the only plausible solution to one's problems. The agony and suffering endured by those who have passed has all but been ignored completely. What right does one have to belittle the pain another feels in an attempt to lessen their own pain?
Skeletons in the closet, demons, battles to fight. All real, ever present challenges for each person one passes on the street.
It's easy to romanticize. To convince oneself that life would be easier in someone else's shoes.
The truth is that the words "life" and "easy" rarely belong in the same sentence. Regardless of religious beliefs, explanations for existence, or any excuse used to romanticize the "ideal life" for oneself, one fact is universally acknowledged:
Life is hard.
Whether or not a person chooses to believe this is entirely up to themselves, however the fact remains. Once accepted, this fact can help one learn, grow, and develop into the person they wish to become, whoever that may be.
It is easy to romanticize the lifestyle of another. It is hard to create a life for oneself that is "worth living" in one's own opinion.
Both are possible. Both are a choice.
