Originally posted by Sophie How would i know it's false hope? If one day someone i care about seems to disappear there is no way for me to know for certain that they are dead.

Because there can be hope as long as there is a chance, no matter how small.
I’m not gonna get into why I dislike hope but doesn’t it seem icky that you’d rather pretend your friend is still alive and that they wouldn’t do something like that? It’s like not knowing them and sad that they couldn’t feel they could tell a close friend about the biggest decision of their life.
It may just be that I handle deaths well and that’s why I can’t relate. -

Why do you give a shit when you have no self respect or sense of worth anyways? -

I don't handle death that well, but again, it's not pretending if you actually don't know their ultimate fate. Also, people who are actually depressed to the point of going through with suicide are not in their right mind, so going without saying bye, doesn't mean anything in the context of the relationship. It just means the person was terminally depressed. You can't talk people in that state of mind out of it either. Not that you shouldn't try, but it's like having a conversation with a wall. Because they are unwell. -

I get ya. I handle by thinking they’re not suffering anymore, it’s the living I pity. I guess I do have hope in that if time is simultaneous then they’ll always be alive right now, just in the past. Or maybe after the universe collapses it will repeat itself exactly and we’ve already lived this life before billions of years ago and that will continue. -

2022-11-02 at 1:47 PM UTCMy two closest friends both died of cancer within the last 5yrs. I ponder how they are both dead and I'm not as my lifestyle was far more reckless than theirs for many years, I guess if your number is up your number is up.
ETA: The 2nd one died about a year ago, his wife has already moved in his replacement and fills her facebook with photos of him playing daddy to my dead friends young kids...whore. -

There is a law of nature called Conservation of Information. Essentially all particles and energy that makes up everything including us can't stop existing, so when you die all the bits that constituted you are still around, they're just more disorderly.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

As an older person now and looking back I know I wasted a lot of time...that I didn't think I was wasting at that time.
"if I knew then what I know now" etc.
I'd have fucked around less, worked harder, saved more, planned for the future and took care of my health a lot better.

I feel like I should have a more active sex life and date but it really doesn’t appeal to me enough, so sometimes I force myself to do something crazy. -
2022-11-02 at 2:26 PM UTCIt’s like I’m reluctant to arrange sex but it also seems a waste for no one to see my pretty lingerie so every now and then I make an effort to do something wild just to make sure I’m living.

laws of attraction. something I saw not long ago on youtube. I can't remember now what they did while spinning a coin but the coin will always fall on heads or always fall on tails regarding which side it first fell on while doing this other thing. because the particles in that order stick around. I can't remember if he was fucking with some kind of electrical test but he spins a coin within a circle table with a barrel rim around it keeping it from falling off and as long as it stays on that plate or table top it will land on that side of the coin every time. I think heads landed on tails one out of 18 times but he said it hit the edge causing the flow to be affected. but it fell on tails on the other 18 tries and 17 on the heads clearly making the odds of probability 100% -

I am not sure if that has to do with it. I mean Jesus is first and all but He's talking about his faith in God where this is God's creation which includes true science and not "What's true in science now until proven otherwise at a later time" which seems to happen.
example the Universe was only so big until the next generation of telescopes said it was not!
this is saying that there is particles in space that control the outcome if not disturbed. this is a type of laws of attraction and sometimes you make these calls unconsciously and they come to you. it's the truth so it's a part of God. it's not a lie that God can make true. which in some divine way he could. but he wouldn't because he separates himself from such a thing.
but there is more involved than this. it has to do with creating the path of the particles or the particles themselves creating the outcome that there is a way (or a crude way) of predicting the outcome because this is already in motion. it's not in our natural thought process so it was discovered by some scientists about a century ago and still has not found a true way to utilize it in real-time. only to watch it happen with an outcome. this coin spin was one way. which I suppose if you set it up for the coin to spin and fall every time on one side, a person would think the coin was loaded. but if you handed it to them to flip or spin, and it came up the opposite on the first- whatever tries. they might think you used some quick of hand illusion, accuse you of switching it out, say there is a magnet in it. etc.
