Question:
is it possible to justify nonexistence as preferable to otherwise ?

it sounds absurd to reason thus, such as for instance, non existence is ultimately preferable to existence ''preferable for who'' etc, but the absence of this subject, the lack of preference, would seem to be THE preference in a way, not for anyone, that's the point, but a nothingness that by its very nature is complete in every way ? and from the perspective of a limited individualised ego it would seem the ultimate thing to want, because it destroys this whole game.

Death is not nonexistence.



It is simply awakening into your true reality.

The truth is founded on our capacity to acknowledge the 'otherness'. Regardless of what defines 'one' entity, there will always be 'another' domain beyond its outline. The perfect reversibility between Nothing vs Everything is the ultimate perception paradox. All existence (as we know it) is itself a measured bubble where ego, humanity, life, matter, meta-physics etc have taken centre-stage, unaware that there is more-than-meets-the-eye beyond our familiar sphere. Yet, only beyond the familiar does anyone unveil the unfamiliar. It takes a thoroughly open mind to acknowledge that even 'non-existence' exists. Its 'presence' is only found in the 'absence' of the so-called everything.



Scanning the height of true Gnosticism, your question appropriately challenges the 'unchallengeable'. Whatever secrets lie on the other side of our sanity, you are on your way to finding out.. Keep going.

I wish the majority of bureaucrats didn't exist.

With their insane legal laws that trample on basic civil liberties, these people ruin the lives of millions (if not billions) of people worldwide.



Truth be told -- I prefer them to be nonexistent.



I wished legal laws were nonexistent too (with the exception of a handful that are solely aimed at maintaining peace and order).

These days, politicians are making it a sport to draft laws as a means of directly robbing us, or indirectly via insane laws, that they know many people will ignore, so they can hand out fines as if they are handing out candy!

I think there is nothing like a something nonexistence . Because u cannot destroy the existence u just convert the shape of object . so u cannot measure something which is not exist

I daresay this is an overcomplicated way of saying "To Be or Not To Be... was that your question?"



Shakespear fielded this one five hundred years ago - and there is still hot debate about what he really meant!



Did he refer to existence - or was he actually referring to deceit v integrity? How people tell little lies to get by instead of facing the consequences of truthfulness.



We will never know... Shakespeare no-longer exists to tell us!

You're going to get 'nonexistence' soon enough in any event.

Not to make the most of existence is kind of pointless.

Nonexistence is not a thing that can be measured and thus compared to existence.
yet-knish!

'Nonexistence' is a completely abstract concept with no possible basis in reality. It is not possible to conceive of nothing. Therefore it is not possible to justify it.

It is indifferent there are no consequences but the ones you put upon yourself through society.
