Why do you choose life over death?

[DubWolf 17,263]

Death means darkness and emptiness for us.... It could also be really hot, or really beautiful, depending on your beliefs on the afterlife.

 

Life is life. I don't want to say more about how I like life and have the universe perform douchebagery on me.

[Overlord0909 479]

Because, death is unknown, leaves everybody around you still alive, wondering what they could've done to save you... It's a selfish choice to kill yourself. It affects everyone... But that's not my main reason: I love life.

 

Life is everything I know. It's random, entertaining, full of friends to meet, people to love, things to see, places to explore, games to play, MLP... The list is endless.

 

But overall, it all brings me great joy. I would never want to see someone's life end. Because life is the single most important thing on this earth. It's really all we have.

So cherish yours, as I do mine. Because it could always be worse. (Helping the suicidal, get conflicted! Since 2014 )

[Denim&Venöm 18,989]

A. So my family can still enjoy my company (why they continue to do so i dunno)

 

B. I have yet to find something worth dying for. 

[Trottermare Galamane 12,005]

If I die right now then I will die a happy man but death without reason is not an option in my mind and shouldn't be in anyone else's 

[Jaxsie (Inactive) 1,343]

Life wasn't something I chose when my mother bore me; and neither is death something that I'll choose. I'm blessed to be alive. I love life and even if I didn't, choosing death would never be an option for me. I don't believe that my life is something I can take away, when it was never something I gave myself to begin with. My life doesn't belong to me, and when the one who owns it calls me home, I'll be ready to go. But until then, I have a whole lot of life to live.

[PROJECT: Simon 3,954]

There's a lot of stuff I want to do <3 

[Whitewolf 106]

Just because I want to enjoy life and be happy! Also, there are so much things to do and discover! 

[InfectedPone 1,550]

Life has opportunity. Life has experiences. Life has friendship. You can do so much with your life and create unforgettable moments to treasure forever.

 

Death is eternal nothingness. No fun. No feelings. No anything. This is why I much rather prefer to live.

[SparklingSquirrels 21,341]

There's still so much for me to do in life: learning, helping others, traveling, making good memories. If I died, then I wouldn't get to experience those things.

 

That said, I don't fear death.

Because why choose death? What do I get out of it besides a lack fo existence, it throws everything away I'm working towards, even if I'm super bitter and hate the world theres other ways staying alive could help that cause, but I'm not. I mean sure if you are getting water-boarded or something on a daily basis why not choose death lol.  But first world problem? Unlikely.

Besides I prolly have more free time than most people I should use it well. 

But lazy instincts what can I say x3

[Deae Rising Shine~ 55,468]

Live can be a bucking jerk, who kicks your flank millions of time, makes you suffer and hurts you.

 

but those moments make the beautiful, happy, hopefully, lovely and glorious moments in life just sweeter.

 

I'm one of those kinds who is ready to see what the future brings and die when time has come.

 

I can't say if life after death will be like heaven or hell, or if we are reborn as another baby or animal. I don't know if I can be in Equestria after death or if I just see a black screen the moment I die.

 

My life isn't the greatest, most of the time I'm annoyed and pissed off. And still, there are only a little few things in my nearly 22 years, that I would change if I could too.

 

Mayby life is an infinite loop and you are always yourself, repeatiing your life over and over again, just doing different decisions? Mayby were just in a virtual life thing and all of you are just A.I.s they created for me? Mayby I was someone or something before my now life?

 

I can't tell if there was a me before my now me. But at the end we all should try to make the best of life. We still can find out what comes after death, when the time comes.

 

 

Mayby we getting our rewards for getting trough life after we died?

 

 

We all should live as long a possible and who knows what comes in the future? Let's say I died 2008, no matter if I choose myself or trough accident. I never had became a Formula 1 Fan, never had seen Button become world champion 2009. I never had seen the Metal Gear games since MGS4. I never had seen MLP. And so much more. And I always will keep hoping something good will happen to me. Mayby I get millionaire? Mayby I find my special somepony? There are still so much good that can happen. And I'm ready to see those things. When I die, then when the moment has come for me to leave. But until then, I will try to enjoy life as long I can.

[Light Diamond 950]

Well things haven't gone well for me in the past year or so but i'm hoping that i can recover quickly and finish my education which is what i want to do and why i want to live because i don't know what the future holds, hopefully it's good and happy things. There's also games i've been wanting for a long time that have been in the making for years like The Last Guardian which i'm really wanting to play, Uncharted 4 and seeing the Ratchet and Clank movie which is a dream of mine along with the PS4 re-imagining. 

 

I also don't know what will happen if i choose to die and i don't want to abandon my family.

[best poni 1,519]

Because I have no reason to die. I like most aspects my life and don't want to end it.

[Officer Strike 152]

To experience life and it's thrills and to see loved ones. If I am in pain I would prefer death. But I love my life.

 

Plus the thrills of watching MLP!

 

 

and earning my scout award!

[darkwingmare 1,320]

It's quite simple, really. Because I have a choice, unlike many other people.

I love to be alive and I truly appreciate it because I know there are so many out there who die, only to have lived short lives or no life at all. Because there are people out there who get executed without doing anything wrong, children that get abused to death, animals that get slaughtered without having anything to say about it, people who starve because they can't get any food, people that get shot because they were in the wrong place at the wrong time.

You got a life to live so far, live it, don't waste it. It's not even anything to think about for me. I'd never even consider death unless I had to.

 

Death is not anything you choose.

[KatonRyu 1,033]

I enjoy life and I fear death. I have friends and a wonderful girlfriend. I have hobbies and dreams. I wouldn't ever leave any of that behind.

[Radiance64 7,053]

Life is a gift, if not a privelage. We are all lucky to have a life, and living it how we want is all we can really do with it... it's God's gift, but your choice, which is a beautiful thing to me. And that's why I live- whether life goes on for me in another form after my time in this world is up I have yet to see, but being here now, all I can do is ride it out to the end.

[simba86 1,541]

because I have an eternity after I die and only like 70 or 80 years on earth. I just wanna live until I die LOL

[ChoroChii 284]

I don't see why not. There's no knowing what'll happen once I'm dead plus once I'm dead, that's it. So why not stick it out until the end? Besides, many people adore me.

[catnet 9,356]

Because whether I like it or not, me dying would hurt some people, and no matter how dark my thoughts become, I don't want to cause anyone that sort of pain. :c And besides, I've got better things to do with my time, like trying to make people happy It's nothing grand, nothing particularly noteworthy, but I feel it's important all the same, and I don't want to give up on it anytime soon.

[Member Berry 1,217]

Because I'm terrified of dying. I've been depressed but I know I could never kill myself because it terrifies me. I'm not religious and an eternity of the unknown and nothingness seems horrible. 

 

By the way, I'm far happier now than I have been. I still get bad days but I can cope.

[CandyStrike 603]

I don't choose to live, so much as I am compelled to because it is the default state of my body. Aside from something unexpected happening, to die would require I take action.  It would take a lot of planning and would most likely be painful.  I've struggled with depression and have wanted to die. The only thing that kept me alive was I have no access to the things that have the highest "success" rate for suicide and it is hard to figure out a perfect way to kill yourself.

 

I'm better now though, for the time being, and don't want to die. I need to know who the new Doctor Who companion will be, I need to see the new My Little Pony movie, and I want to go to a pony convention someday.  Plus, yard sale season will return and I love to hunt for cheap toys.

[Randimaxis 8,652]

Life is miraculous and fascinating to live.

 

I choose to live because I'm chomping at the bit to see what each and every tomorrow brings - because it's NEVER been the same day twice... and it NEVER will be.  How can you NOT love that fact?

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

This place really doesnt get enough dark topics like these. Anyways I only live because I now have a chance to be somebody. I want to be remembered for who I'am before I join my ancestors.

[Admiral Regulus 2,769]

Because life is the only option that I can choose.

 

That may be a little confusing, but let me explain. Quite simply, death is nothing but nonexistence. If I'm dead, then I don't exist. This means I can only exist if I'm alive, so being alive is the only option I have. It's not I can live or I can die, it's I can live or--

 

Nothing.

 

In essence, I won't say that I can die. If I'm dead, then there is no more me to be dead. This isn't life or death, this is Admiral Regulus or no Admiral Regulus. And I rather like Admiral Regulus; he's a pretty cool guy. So... I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.
