The reason I choose to continue living is that I only have one chance to inhabit a mortal body in this world so I’d like to see it through for as long as I can. What’s yours?

    I don’t choose. To continue living is just the default, and time keeps passing, so I’m alive by inaction…

      Choosing the default is still a choice. Why is the default better than the alternative in your opinion? Please don’t answer that question or even consider it unless you already have an answer. I would rather not have to ask this myself to be honest.

        I don’t have a full answer, so I won’t try to answer it right now, but I will surely think about it during the next days.

        I’d argue “choosing the default” is not what’s going on here. If you don’t have mental health issues, you don’t think that much about living/not living, it just is what it is.

        It’s be like saying I’m choosing not to listen to 80s Korean funk, or choosing not to go ski to the Himalaya. I literally don’t care, and I haven’t chosen “not to”, because I literally haven’t given it any thought.

        Actually, 80s Korean funk sounds rad, I should give it a listen.
