Would you have rather not existed at all? You wouldnt even know of existing or losing anything?

Answer 1

Hi
God, Universe and Man; these had been burning questions for centuries. The intellectuals, philosophers and all theologists have tried to find the real meaning of our existence but in vain.
This also led to the creation of different theories and philosophies of life. Its been the discussion of extreme discussion since the dawn of humanity and probably remain so. This quest also resulted in different types of mythology and myths. All ancient mythology especially Egyptian and Greek and even Christian did created certain answers for this but ‘QUEST” is not satisfied. Scientist tried hard on this topic. GENESIS & BIOGENISIS (life from non-life and life from life) still a dilemma for scholars.

Genesis according to religions has real meaning of Eve and Adam while for non-believers take it symbolically equal to “wisdom/psyche”. Gnostics tried to find answers of our existence on mixed basis. Spiritualism or Sufism had different views.

Some of the great poets of the world in different languages and cultures and in different eras had also expressed their views about this.
In short, it is believed that “we are part of some divine nature or God, God expressed Himself through us”. According to this set of thinking, “ WHEN WE WERE NOT EXISTED, WE WERE A PART OF GOD, HAVING DIVIN NATURE, AND OUR EXISTENCE LED TO US TO LOSE THIS PROPERTY AND WE BECOME MORTAL AND WHEN WE WILL DIE, WE WILL AGAIN BECOME PART OF DIVINE AND AGAIN BECOME IMMORTAL.

Personally, I believe that “ life is a transitional phase of punishment”. We were better before our existence and will be better after death. Why? Think of the miseries, we as human being suffer on individual level. We are missing something. None is satisfied. We are running everyday for something. Every day is a new day of struggle. None is exception from to this. Everyone has some type of deficiency or at least feel it. Every person regardless of his or her STATUS, or financial set up or education or accomplishment is suffering directly or indirectly.

Buddhism has this fundamental belief that “Life is the name of sufferings and miseries and all this results from our desires and desires MUST be suppressed to live happy or peacefully. Giving up everything is their basic teaching. Dying by starvation is extreme accomplishment for them.
So NON-EXISTENC IS BETTER THAN EXISTENCE
