I spent most of my life being spiritual and looking forward to the afterlife, as a day when I would become a spirit and one with the cosmic forces of the universe in a literal non-figurative sense.
To know that there is only oblivion is a curse, but damn the false hope for being false. Damn it to the Hell that isn't
Oblivion isn't as scary as one thinks it is. Science actually believes in a reincarnation of sorts, and oblivion would help us easily pass the time in between lifetimes.
Basically, with no ability to experience stimuli or the passage of time, and no way to have any thoughts or experiences whatsoever... the quintillions of years until the end of the universe, and potentially through universes beyond where you don't exist, would pass in what would feel like the blink of an eye to you.
It's thought that after an absolutely ridiculous amount of time, we'll have a Poincaré recurrence of the entire current universe, history and all, and you'll end up being conceived to live your life again. The good news is that once you have died, oblivion would make it so that you don't really have to experience that in-between period at all.
But I'm trans, you mean I have to deal with gender dysphoria AGAIN?
