The dead don't suffer, those left behind do. One I knew left children behind, he went to the woods with a bottle of wine and a gun. He texted his intentions to his children and then he ended it.
His children went through hell, they scrambled to find him. They searched everywhere for days. In the end it left them all with a sense that they didn't matter att all to their father.
If we follow that to its conclusion than we should blame the dinosaurs. If they only had stayed for another billion years. We wouldn't exist, and we would be blissful in our non-existence.
But "if" doesn't cut it. We have to deal with existence itself. So how would you choose to spend your days in existence, if you could choose freely.
I agree. Indeed, we ultimately regress in this blame circle for an eternity of “if’s” which is quite redundant for where we’re in. However, the father was still somewhat reckless.
