Why do you choose life over death?

[SquipyCheetah 449]

I live because that is simply what I am doing. Just like breathing. Death means the end of your mind and existence in gerneral. 

[Tonyan 122]

To be part of the great human experience, find and understand what is the true good meaning of being Human. This is all just an experience we are having. We have experiences, learn life lessons through this course, to then die, to come back with the previous experiences we learned, to live again but with a better understanding of the world, and live more great things we couldn't experience in past lives.

That's my perspective of life. It's just my opinion and my version of the truth of human life.
 

[碇 シンジン 27,431]

Because I don't want to take the easy way out I want to move forward not give up

[smk.png 181]

I choose Death over life.

[TBD 17,254]

Because it's not my time yet.

[Yakamaru 3,127]

I choose to live because I love food, memes, soda, friends, family, and uh, gaming, actually.

[Dreambiscuit 9,692]

I choose to live because that's the nature of things. As a rule, everything that lives instinctually wants to continue living. It doesn't mean life is always the most wonderful thing imaginable; it can be harsh and painful too. But as long as I'm alive I'll stick to it until it naturally expires, with no regrets when it's over. Simple as that.

[Ruddboy Olaf 10,628]

I don't do it by choice. I'm just too much of a coward to actually kill myself. Not that I fear death, cause I don't, I just fear the physical pain and possibility of surviving an attempt.

[Nyactis Mewcis Catlum 672]

It's not really a choice for me. The idea of dying just doesn't cross my mind. I live because my instincts tell me to do so.

[Passion 3,484]

Simple, really, and Regulus voices it already more than 2 years ago.

Between choosing from life and non-existance, the choice is pretty obvious. There isn't a day in my life where, in the evening when falling asleep, I wouldn't remember that all of this, everything I have and matters, will just end, maybe even without warning. You can either get depressed or motivated, but usually it keeps pushing me forward to do more and more, to experience life while it lasts. Happiness, sadness, jou, pain. They are life's side effects. I cherish the positives and endure negatives.

Anything is better than just being... gone. I'll have time to be gone yet. It's not like I can avoid it. So why rush it?

[IsraelYabuki 446]

nothing good comes from choosing death. I prefer to wait until my time comes and until then, I shall live my life the way I want to

[Guest]

Because I have such a huge fear of death.

[Stone Cold Steve Jobs 22,440]

I consider it a huge middle finger to the world.

[Here No Longer 5,276]

I sometimes actually wonder that, considering my current position.

The only answers I come up with are that I can do things I want to do, and there are people around that care.

[ZethaPonderer 2,199]

I didn't choose to live Life.

I do however have an understanding that an Omnipresent All Powerful Incomprehensible Creative Force decided to make me come into existence. I consider myself an Abrahamist.

So, therefore I only live my Life to serve The Creative Force as best as I can over Death since Death is a mere reminder that Life will never be Paradise. Plus, giving into Death early is failure to live up to serving The Creative Force's expectations. Death is illogical for those who don't believe in the plausibility of a Creative Force.

[Twilight-Sparkle17 230]

I have so many plans for the future that I want to see come to fruition.

[Dalkrin-the-Wanderer 80]

I live in abject fear of the void. It is not all consuming fear, but it is there, below the surface. I have no intention of dying until I am good and ready. Death can have me once I've squeezed out very drop of life I can. I'll employ cybernetics, genetic modification, tissue cloning, mental uploads and more to prolong my life until I'm satisfied that I've lived a satisfactory amount.

[Thuja 3,659]

Because if I killed myself now, I wouldn't be able to play all the sweet video games that're coming out!  I'm usually on the look out for some interesting games so that whenever I feel suicidal I tell myself, "Well, if you do it now, you'll miss (insert random game here)", it's strangely reassuring.

[Dust-Shot 122]

Because nopony would miss me! And I don't talk about friends and family. I'm talking about the whole freaking world. I want to make my mark. I wanna be horse famous. So, if I'm not in the gaming or fanfiction writing elite yet, you won't see me gone soon.

[Luna's Admirer 945]

I choose to live because I wanted to see what life has to offer me. 

[Earl Grey Ghost 446]

I don't mind living (for now, even though it's aggravating as all h3ll) and I also don't mind dying. I'm on the fence with this. I have been suicidal in my past, but I pushed through it, mainly because I found a purpose. There were some things I wanted to change, and I'm far too stubborn to give up and not leave a mark on the world.

[EpicEnergy 23,218]

I didn't choose life, I was forced into it when I was born. The only reason why I continue to live is because I don't have enough motivation and mental willpower to kill myself.

[Early Sunsets 2,106]

Because death is scary and I'm not a very strong or brave person. I'm stuck here for a while, so I guess we'll see what comes from my cowardice.

[Clawdeen 14,179]

The grim reaper doesn't want me yet. 

So I guess I'll be stuck here to torture you all for now

[Iforgotmybrain 5,681]

I don’t remember being given a choice.

I guess technically you could say I have a choice now.

Spoiler

”Actually, it’d be better if I didn’t exist. So I should die too.”

”Then why are you?”

But dying 24 years in is different than being given the choice of life or death at say, birth.

Spoiler

Man maybe I should text my friend Colton, I miss him. I miss talking about this nonsense with him. He’s the only person I’ve ever known who entertained my stupid thought processes like this. Now I’m sad
