But in all seriousness though, I wish I never existed...

[Chrysanthemum7879]

If it meant avoiding spending eternity in Heaven and especially Hell, as well as being spared the tragedy of knowing some of my friends and loved ones will someday end up in Hell, then so be it.

Yeah that would mean missing out on Heaven, too, but why would I miss out on something that I was never really interested in? That's like telling someone who's an aspiring chef that they're missing out on a career as an international model--it misses the point.

So, what do you guys think?

I wish I could fly, and be invisible.
But as both are impossible, I can only laugh at my fantasy.
Now, back to the work of living !

God wants relationship with us. Every human somehow has an impact on the world and others. God can use us to achieve great things. Also, you can't ask to exist unless you exist first to be able to ask.

So, what do you guys think?

We were created with a purpose. You have a mission in life; otherwise, you would not exist. You are a unique and special individual, no matter what you think about it—this is the reality. You are a unique piece in the machinery of creation, with a unique function. This is why God created you exactly as you are.

There is nothing you can do on your own; only God can provide for your needs because you are part of His creation. What you demand is only an illusion, but what God offers you is reality.

If you truly want to cease to exist, why not dedicate yourself to helping others by offering them all your wealth, your time, your smile, and kind words?

What are the problems that make you desire not to exist?

Me. The evil wicked nature within. And the deep-seated rage I have at the thought of deserving Hell.

We all have a destructive side, and this isn’t new.

As it says in Mark 10:18: "Why do you call me good?" Jesus answered. "No one is good—except God alone."

Look, there is nothing wrong with you, and you are not alone in this. Don’t be afraid—be brave, be alive. You are in the right place at the right time. You can do many good things, and you will make mistakes, just like I have. But do your best, and correct yourself when necessary. That’s what life is all about.

We are not always good, not just outwardly, but also inwardly. In our thoughts, we can be cruel, cold, distant, and we sometimes see others as objects. We all have moments of wickedness. But you have to understand that we are here to learn. Mistakes are inevitable; they’re part of the plan. Everything is exactly as it should be for us to start correcting ourselves right now.

Life is constantly speaking to us, but it whispers in a quiet voice, and many times the things it says are painfully obvious—ridiculously obvious. Yet, often, those obvious things are the hardest for us to see.

So keep calm, have confidence, and remember that you must make decisions—and sometimes you will make mistakes. The biggest mistakes I have made have been the greatest lessons I’ve learned.

Hope this helps.

[Who Me]

the deep-seated rage I have at the thought of deserving Hell.

Why the anger at the thought of deserving hell?

Do you really believe you are a " good " person?

Ever read Luke 10:
25 On one occasion an expert in the law stood up to test Jesus. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”

26 “What is written in the Law?” he replied. “How do you read it?”

27 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
28 “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.”

Can you honestly say you have ever done this?

It appears from your remark above that you have an enormously shrunken view of God and an excessively large view of yourself. This is how it goes, though: The more we fill our own view, the more everything else is obscured; the more we make ourselves our own god, the more distant and disinteresting the only true God seems. Anyway, you don't desire heaven because you don't properly understand it, which is to say, you don't properly understand He who makes heaven, heavenly (God).

What heaven will reveal to you - perhaps more than anything else - is that your existence isn't really about you and what you think and want, but about the One who made you for His purposes. Until you accept this reality and live in it, you can only be an instrument "unfit for purpose," like a baseball bat used to sew clothing, or a floor mop used to butcher meat. In such a state, everything gets contorted and distorted by your effort to live in a way your Maker never intended for you to live, one of the effects of which is your desire for annihilation.

But what about those God consigns to eternal hell? Would your love of eternally lost family and friends foul your enjoyment of heaven? Well, this is how one thinks when one is far from God. The mighty, towering majesty of a great mountain is hard to understand and appreciate when it is just a bump on the distant horizon. So, too, God, when you've pushed Him to the horizon of your existence. Way off in the distance, He appears to be just a "bump," as such, deserving no particular interest.

Up close, though, that "bump" is staggering! When the mountain fills your view in all its craggy, looming wonder and majesty it captures your attention! So, too, God, when you draw near to Him and begin to see Him as He really is. In the light of His glory and majesty, the things you think and feel so strongly about yourself and others when God is far distant shrink to trivialities and foolishness.
