If you really think about it, why should life itself exist at all? The purpose of life is to simply reproduce. Well... what if it didn't? Nothing, it just wouldn't exist. It is a bad thing or a good thing?
You can get very philosophical with this one, but I do agree that we humans deserve to fade out. So many atrocities, so much... pain, and all for really stupid reasons.
Lack of good = neutral
Lack of bad = good
Non-existence is always preferrable.
Funny how people asserting that, continues existing to assert that. I find that very inconsistent.
So you don't see a difference between never having existed and killing yourself? Weird.
