I want to make this thread partially as a reflection upon an older thread dealing with the available options.
Upon analysis of the original post I found that the emerging philosophy is that acceptance of the status quo is the reasonable conclusion, as further denial is associated with more suffering. Once acceptance is reached, the logical choice is thus between rope or cope, with ER being a more incisive type of rope.
And even though coping seems such a weakling thing to do, it's the thing that keeps us alive. Even though some users glorify the rope, reality shows that it is the less desirable of the two options, given the fact that we're alive having this online conversation. Coping mechanisms exist to make life bearable, and that is the ailment needed after the choice has been made. I'd consider one who eternally stays on the fence with a rope tied around his neck but trying to cope with scraps to be someone suffering from being in the worst of both worlds: still alive and agonizing, in a painful clash against self-preserving instincts and at the same time refusing any medicine that would make life more bearable; That's why I see people refusing coping mechanisms ranging from escorts or masturbation to video games.
And that's when I turn to you, the reader who is on this fence. Dude, this situation is worse than death. It's worse than sui. Sui is nothing, and nothing can't be suffering. Coping at least tries to mitigate that suffering. Not embracing either side is like dying in horrible pain due to cancer while refusing either euthanasia or chemo. I'd want you to collapse into one possibility. I ain't no virtue signaling preacher, I have multiple past suicide attempts; Life really is an unfair piece of shit - for some, for us, for some of us more than others, perhaps, this is the inalienable truth that beckons from here. There's too many of us on this world for anyone to care about anyone, pain and suffering and loneliness and rejection and isolation have become a statistic. Even going ER has or will soon become just a statistic. If you want reasons to end it, there are plenty, and the counter-reasons are almost always built by those more fortunate, the ones who are accepted and loved and of course for them life is so damn beautiful. You can be the captain of your fate and end your misery, but you'd better decide on it boyo, otherwise you're just stuck in a situation worse than sui. Alternatively, if you find that there are still things you'd like to do before kicking the bucket or (like me) are just too spineless to really off yourself, you'd better start mitigating that suffering. Us, the ones that may end up on this side, have to do it together. We can build whatever surrogate may numb us down, play all the games, do all the drugs and fuck all the escorts and robowaifus. Just, please, stop being on the fence, for your own good. Rope or cope.
