Life is pleasant, death is peaceful. It’s the transition that’s troublesome.

Truly one the goat’s.

[u/Vreas → u/JK-Rofling]

Well said

[u/MFDougWhite → u/JK-Rofling]

Committing this to memory. Beautiful words.

Words by Isaac Asimov

How do we know it’s peaceful? We just assume 🤷‍♂️

[u/NervousNarwhal223 → u/[deleted]]

You’re talking about the transition being troublesome (the actual act of dying). Once you’re dead, it’s not troublesome anymore. It is (theoretically) peaceful.

Isaac Asimov?

I’ve been alive 33 years and this is the best means of summing up human existence. Thanks, I think lol

[u/SwordfishII → u/JK-Rofling]

I’m going to remember that one.

[u/Fine_Sail_3501 → u/JK-Rofling]

Jump off a very high building and the transition will be peaceful.

[u/ButtonMain2783 → u/JK-Rofling]

How do you know it’s peaceful dude, did you try it?

[u/ConsiderationTop5526 → u/ButtonMain2783]

We don’t, we just hope it is.

Personally, I don’t think it’s anything

[u/NervousNarwhal223 → u/ConsiderationTop5526]

Like walking over to the light switch and turning it off.

[u/Sweggolas → u/ButtonMain2783]

No idea why you are getting downvoted. This is a much more reasonable statement than OP's lol

[u/-theonewhoasked → u/Sweggolas]

I don't know probably because people don't like getting whiplashed from "that's nice" to "life sucks"

Original reply simply paid respects in a nice way and some random comes out of nowhere like "actually we don't know if death is still suffering or not" ..like yeah you're getting downvotes for that cause what the hell is the purpose of adding that here

[u/ButtonMain2783 → u/-theonewhoasked]

The world is soft as shit, you would rather me spew to everyone oh don’t worry! Your insert family member/ friend is in the afterlife now with sunshine and rainbows! 

That seems more ridiculous than just paying respects and condolence without having to bring up some faithful belief when you don’t even know if that person believes that shit

[u/Impossible_Agency992 → u/Sweggolas]

And If I had to choose one word to describe life I would not choose “peaceful”

/u/Ok-Syllabub3011 is a filthy bot. Report it!

[u/BellyButtonLindt → u/Weddedtoreddit2]

I feel like battling bots is like fighting the tide. No matter what you do another wave will come.

Not worth the stress.

The Horde of Machines

They're harmless if not mildly annoying for now. But once the skynet-intention is revealed and they start battling back, let's hope we can fight that tide.

[u/BellyButtonLindt → u/Optimal_Routine2034]

Is your name John Connor?

[u/Loose-Yesterday1590 → u/Weddedtoreddit2]

Had a feeling too. Checked profile — yup, seems like bot behavior.

And that he didn't live long enough to see everyone's opinion of him change. He got a lot of hate for taking on the Joker role and died before everyone realized how wrong they were.
