So how do we measure success? If someone can successfully bury their mind in the sand and enjoy 99.99999% of their life, only arriving at the horrble troof half an hour before they die their suffering is surely neglible. The meaning of life for me is to spend as little time suffering as possible. In this case pure, demented ignorance seems like a surefire winner.

Kind of shoots "Rest in Peace" to hell though.

Never put much stock in that one tbh. As far as I'm concerned there's either something happens to me after I snuff it or my whole awareness of reality just ceases to exist. Either way resting will be the last thing on my mind. Peace second last.

there is no limit to the intensity of suffering yo

the tighter you hold something back - the more you ignore something --> the more intense it will be when you face it

is it better to get a atomic bomb dropped on you?
or be slowly poisoned and stimulated to forget about it and endure over the course of 80 years?

lol

the thought of resting in peace is the only thing that interests me
neat hell

You might put it that way, but it casts the wrong image I think.  You don't go around asking for death, you merely face it as life.

LHX

true

to rest in peace doesnt necessarily have to suggest death (tho it is a shame that it does)
neat hell

AFK

I think it is probably possible to "rest in peace" in life.  Probably extremely rare, but I can see it being possible.  And though I would not ask for death or chase it.  I do feel that if I know my time is to come I would welcome it and not fear it.  I can think of nothing more rewarding for surviving the Prison then to be able to be set free from it, even if you do not exist in any afterlife way to enjoy it.

fear of the unknown is a bad disease

its wide spread

Its deeply entrenched too.  I sometimes wonder if society could somehow teach people to not fear death, to truly not fear it, if society would then, be any different.

I think it happens in brief moments.

Too brief, and then people spend the rest of their life chasing it.

Can lead to excessive drug use.

Another example of Ignorance = Bliss.
