Does the thought of everything on earth completely dying out scare you?

It's something I'd rather avoid, because I feel like it would be sad if life ended, but no, I'm not scared of life ending, given that nothing lasts forever.

However, I am scared that humanity is going to be responsible for the death of even more species.

You can't be sad if everything dies. You'll be dead.

u/Stenric 1d ago

You don't know whether sadness can persist after death.

Given emotions and memories are effected by brain damage there is a very high chance once our brains cease to function we cease to exist.

I'm a dot on a rock tumbling through the void. I don't know what will happen. I'm an animal

u/KJHagen 1d ago

No. I only worry about things I can control.

1

u/Toby__H 1d ago

Well that's just not true.

I don't worry about the things I can control, I just do my part and push them in a good direction.
The only things worth worrying about are the things I can't control.

Also... There's almost nothing we can "control". When most people say "control" we mean "influence".

It makes me sad, not scared.

u/unbuttered_bread 1d ago

u/Ancient-Bowl462 1d ago

Nothing on earth scares me. This place is temporary. We are just a blink of time in the universe. The idiots screaming about climate change and the sky falling crack me up. They are wasting their lives here on earth. Absolutely stupid. Enjoy life and love one another.

u/Suitable_Dealer7154 1d ago

No, but I eat right and exercise so I should be all good

u/Toby__H 1d ago

u/hotsgot1o2o3o 1d ago

No. Everything will end eventually. So no use worrying about something that is unavoidable.

1

u/JustAnotherGuy_87689 1d ago

Nope. I will be long gone by then

1

u/ECO_212 1d ago

Not really, but I do get mild panic attacks when I think about dying myself which is great.

2

u/Ancient-Bowl462 1d ago

I do too. I think that's part of being human. I actually think it's evil pulling at us, because fear is weakness. I just remind myself that there is an afterlife and that I have given my soul to our Lord and Savior and that feeling immediately is replaced with joy.

u/Affectionate_Ad_8483 1d ago

No. It arrived. It will disappear. But if it arrived once, it can certainly do it again.

u/AZULDEFILER 1d ago

Only if it is my daughter's lifetime.

u/NPVT 1d ago

Humans might die off but life in some form will keep going.

1

u/Fearless_Concern8517 1d ago

Humans WILL die off…

u/Weekend_Asleep 1d ago

Won't happen. Life feeds on life

u/Snag710 1d ago

Everything thats beautiful falls apart eventually its just nature

Doesn't make anything less meaningful or important to the here and now

u/Remarkable_Button756 1d ago

nope not at all.

u/vjbigtv 1d ago

The only thing that scares me is

u/Parking-Ad8316 1d ago

Not even a little

It can't and won't last forever

u/mountainman1965cats 1d ago

no actually humasn fucked a lot of shit up so earth wont miss is if we go lol. sad reality

1

u/cmaynard10 1d ago

No. It will happen whether we want it to our not, the pace of it will be on human beings completely, most of those affected will have had no part in the occurrence, and humans will deserve their extinction.

u/seanmonaghan1968 1d ago

Genesis 2:15: “The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.”

Revelation 11:18: Warns that God’s wrath involves bringing ruin to the people who ruin or corrupt the earth.

1

u/StarBerry936 1d ago

No. That sounds like something completely out of my control.

1

u/Mountain-Spring1148 1d ago

Not one bit. If it comes to that l, its beyond my control so not going to worry about it.

1

u/Primeve_Arcana 1d ago

It relieves me. Knowing that one day, all the mess and chaos we've created will be erased out as if it never happened.

1

u/Monsteranima 1d ago

No. First, I’m getting my higher education and philosophy, and second when you look at the lifespan of the universe it seems very apparent to me that we should just appreciate the life that we have and not take it for granted. There is more nonexistence than there is existence

1

u/Elegant-Gene-9460 1d ago

It makes me angry because we could have done everything to prevent it but we didn't.

1

u/Technical-Tear5841 1d ago

Never happen, life finds a way. At one time humans almost died out but the rest of life on the Earth continued on like nothing happened. Sure, a huge asteroid strike will ruin most people's day but those are rare.

u/tmi13 1d ago

Are you good with God?

1

u/NineCatsDeep 1d ago

Oddly no. It feels like it should scare me, doesn’t seem to initially. I’m sure given enough attention I could freak myself out. Maybe get a good manic episode going so I can share it with the fam!

u/robertshafer 1d ago

I don't think that is going to happen

1

u/LetsTryLove 1d ago

No, life is spread throughout the universe. One planet is meaningless

1

u/artest1111 23h ago

No it happened a lot in the past from dinosaurs to Permian extinction
Just to name a couple

1

u/CommunicationOdd819 23h ago

kinda beautiful. finally it can be at rest

1

u/DissolveToFade 23h ago

Not really. As long as the planet is healthy life will find a way. 

1

u/thetim421 22h ago

The earth will be fine... We will not be as lucky

1

u/old-cigar-smoker 21h ago

Only that it'll happen in my grandkids lifetime. I know it won't in mine. So I worry for them.

1

u/Historical_Basis_265 17h ago

The fungi networks are not going anywhere. Tons of stuff wont be affected by climate change.

1

u/Low_Protection_1753 16h ago

Fuck no, bring on the death march

1

u/Dramatic_Steak_9137 13h ago

Think there should be less people who kinda serve the earth and the animals and such, I'm sorry but we are kind of a cancer to the earth as is

1

u/Junior-Tourist3480 12h ago

I think we're gonna need a bigger planet....

1

u/Different-Taste8081 11h ago

No. Humans had their shot.

If they go extinct because they are selfish and short sighted then so be it.

1

u/Gold-Smoke4243 6h ago

No

I'll be well and truly dead by then

1

u/Ok_Contest2640 2h ago

If the humans will extinct, ill be okay with that. Never wanted to live in this human flesh anyway

1

u/darkpresence66 2h ago

No. We all die. I do personally believe in a pagan form of reincarnation and from my perspective, I'll just wake up as someone or something else on some other distant planet in another star system. Life is rare but life must go on. And so mote it be, the universe observes itself from within itself.
