When a routine becomes too routinuous, you get burn out, and when burn out becomes too much, you're likely to lose your mind, and what happens when you just keep on losing your mind? Well in the case of a living person, it's probably going to lead to cardiovascular diseases and eventual death.

In the case of eternal life? you just eternally suffer.

As hard as it is to accept, consciousness is merely a tool to solve problems better. In a "perfect" scenario, you don't have that.

That's why I think that the Abrahamic divine can be summed up as a cosmic mad man who's lost so much of his sense that he is probably just toying with the universe in a sort of a sick theatre.

I think that if you manage to turn this into something of a story, it could be a great philosophical, exestential scare kind of thing. Because right now it's a personal, kind of an opinionated philosophical article. Try to tell it as if you're telling a story. That is if you're ready to.

Also, if it makes you feel better, I sometimes force myself to write whatever is painful to, because if I relate, the audience will probably to. If you're interested in knowing which of my stories I've written that were painful to write, I don't mind sharing. Yeah, I was unsure if this format would work as a CP. I might rewrite as a story in the future, but I've had enough existential crisis' making this. And consciousness certainly helps, for sure. But deciding between disappearing or immortality is too much for me right now. If you want to share them go ahead, but it's fine if not. I Think I Met Satan - did some emotional venting in this one.

Fenrir's Piper - I own a dog, soooo

Monsters Do Exist and Seem to Dwell In Caves - Used my real life friends as a basis.

Sorry, Love, But You Are Going to Die - a deceaded friend was the inspiration for this

Zain's Murder - again, a prototype is based on a friend, he's not dead but you know, still, hard to deal with the thought.

Also, personally I think disappearing is easier, I mean, it happens most nights when we don't remember our dreams, we just don't remember a shit of what was going on when we were sleeping and I've had a couple of run ins with the reaper, in a way, so....

Also, thanks for educating me on the fact that are such actual phobias.

I suppose. Thanks for the links btw, and you're welcome
