The ultimate pessimistic outlook, you start to die as soon as you are born. Do you agree or is there something more pessimistic?

Not living life to the fullest because you are afraid/negative of everything and everyone is pretty sad to me.
-
Of course I agree, that is highly pessimistic. Actually I can't think of anything to top that.
-
Maybe by completing that outlook and not believing that there's an afterlife...

You're literally born to die. Every breath you take brings you a little closer to your demise, making death the ultimate goal in life. It's the one thing that humans obsess over, try to cheat, figure out....prolong meeting - why else would there be doctors? Why else are doctors so highly paid, if NOT to help you cheat death and slow down the dying process. I agree. You're dying as we speak. (How was that for pessimistic?)
-
Well that is indeed pessimistic. But WORSE would be that everything you will do before you die is USELESS BECAUSE you will eventually die anyway and everybody else too.
-
surely there is something more pessimistic. i mean, death is not a negative thing to some people. i can work on some more pessimistic thoughts if you'd like... for now: life is pointless, painful & there is nothing after death except an empty void.

Death, sadly, might be a form of consolation to some. I prefer the old nugget: "Life sucks, then you die"
-
Yes I suppose that could be construed as a true statement, not the happiest thought to start each day with but something to ponder on.
-
I don't think that's pessimistic. It's just a fact. If it weren't true, we'd have to die of other-than-natural causes. The most pessimistic outlook for me is to assume that everyone is out to screw over everyone else.

I believe that is said by the garavedigger in HAMLET, and it is not only true, it is a way to look at life so that we give as much as we can to each moment of life! And there is much after this life -- the legacy we leave behind and what we look forward to on the other side.

The way I look it at, you are born dead. A stillborn. At least I was. Yes, I know. I'm charming.
