Sociopath Community

I can't understand how anyone could see stuff like meaningless and the inevitability of death as anything other than liberating. Hmm, maybe I'd make a good existential therapist.

Yeah, but if you knew you were going to live forever, or a very, very long time, many people would be so shit scared of fucking it up that they'd end up never taking any risks or doing anything. 

Also, if you've got forever then you'd end up putting things off forever because there would be no sense of urgency. 

In a way, death makes life worth living.

I need existential therapy. I'm having an existential crisis because I killed someone. I don't feel bad about it, but it's got me thinking.

Liberty/freedom = ability to do things we want.

We can't do anything or want anything after we die.

Plus death would mean the end of everything we have come to know.

Have any of you had experience with existential therapy?  If you have, would you please describe it and give your impression(s) of it?

I really doubt this. How do you fuck up living forever? (apart from ending up in very bad health)

Just think how frightened people are of the future anyway though, like so many people who are afraid of making a career decision or committing to a relationship or having kids because they are scared by how permanent it is. If forever was really forever, nobody would take any risks because they worry of getting a criminal record or just closing doors behind them in life that can't be reopened
