I hate that 2 other people got to decide that one day I'll die?

Every now and then I stumble upon things that highlight the tragically horrifying ways that people can have their lives taken.

And it serves as a reminder that for more than half of the population that our endings aren't going to be pretty at all. I don't want my body to bleed out, convulse, rot from the inside out, or be mutilated.

That's terrifying, but one day one of those things IS going to happen.

There is no maybe, might, or could, it will happen, just like its happened to everyone that has ever and will ever exist.

The screwed part is that everyone knows it's going to happen.

Your parents, siblings, neighbors, coworkers, spouses, friends, etc. Everyone knows.

We spend our whole lives trying to box it up and put a bow on top, but the reality is that the end will never be pretty.

And the decision to face that is entirely out of your hands.

Yes we all will eventually die either through a tragic event such as a car crash, natural death, heart attack, severe injury etc.

Or we may die of cancer, or other disease that slowly kills us.

I do fear death in that I fear how it's gonna actually happen.

I'm not scared of the death itself but only that it may be a slow painful death or I suffer from dementia and die in a nursing home.

I hope that my death when it does come that it happens while I'm asleep or outside and I just fall over and die.

However that is not in our hands or anyone else's hands really as our bodies will eventually shut down and I don't believe in a god or anything like that.

I love my parents as they have been really good to me.

But I do also hate my parents just for the fact they wanted to have a baby and create me.

I really wish I never existed because I really find no point in life.

However committing suicide is not a good idea as it will affect your parents as well and sometimes things may eventually get better.

We are all gonna die eventually so it's best to just live out your life and try to enjoy the life you have the best as you can.

A lot of people wish they were never born so you're not alone in your thoughts.

The point of life is supposed to be that we as humans are put here on earth to help the world go around and contribute to society.

Although we are supposed to do our part to help save the planet the earth has been around years and years before humans have ever existed.

I can honestly find no point in life.

I used to be suicidal as a kid but now I just work my way through life and will continue existing until I no longer exist.

We all have to go to school when we reach 5 or 6 years old and stay in school until we graduate.

Then after graduation we hopefully find a job or go to college to get a good job and then we waste our hours away and our life is wasted while we literally sell our time to our bosses to make income.

While we are making some money the boss is actually making a lot more money off us working for them.

Then we go home, enjoy a little free time, go to bed and get up and repeat the work process over again.

There really is no point in living life and I really do wish my parents would've either aborted me or never had me to begin with.
