It is over the top, and a lot of it, I think, is because people can’t seem to think that death isn’t the worst thing that can happen so a person. They’re so scared of death, and being murdered does sound like it would be scary, but being tortured sounds much worse to me. You've a qoute option for that ;D

Yeah, death is scary, or rather, what "happens after" as in, you stop existing, stop being able to spread your genes which is why we find it so bad, it's all about the science, baby!

Being tortured would suck. A lot, but in a sense a lot of people expirience something similar when dealing with chronic pain, so we probably can relate easier to torture or shock, or any kind of trauma. I have a hernia, or sciatica and boy sometimes any kind of movement feels like hell xD. Yeah, but the quote option takes up too much space and I’m too lazy to delete most of it. It also doesn’t help that mostly I’m just using my phone.

As for death, and torture, we all experience little bits of that all the time. Think of it this way, every time we lose something we care about, that’s a small death. Lose of a family member, divorce, illness, all are little deaths along the way to the final death. It’s also little forms of torture. Shit, when you think about it, the parts of you that were around when you were born, have all died and been replaced. Not a single cell from birth to now is the same.

Having your bones broken, or your fingernails pulled out isn’t pleasant, but it’s the mental stuff that scares me the most. Someone that would hurt you mentally and emotionally are the biggest scumbags. Anyway, phones about to die and isn’t charging. So I’m cutting it short this time. Physical pain and suffering have a lot to do with emotion and perceptions etc. This is why I don't argue with vegans over "but you know pain is pain", because they don't really understand how pain actually works. (and trust me, as a person who had to cut off the balls of piglets, I can assure you a castrated kid won't walk for a few days or weeks after the operation due to the pain while a piglet starts running the moment you let him go.)

Yeee, life is full of suffering, but it's also full of joy ;D
