Hear me out fellow nihilists, we aren't that far apart in our thoughts.
See, if you asked me, there is no pain. There is only desire.
By wanting success you set yourself up for failure. The harder you pursue virtue the more you obsess over evil. I'm sure you've noticed from relatives or friends that they only truly fear the future once they've produced offspring, once they've attached themselves to this world more than every before. Suddenly they care about tomorrow. This suffering is what you called pain.

By binding ourselves to fleeting, dying attachments we are drowning in expectations that can never happen by virtue of us humans being flawed. We are wired to think this way. We struggle and never settle down.

Suppose you could lift the weight of your attachments, wouldn't life get easier? At least a little bit? If you stopped worrying about success and simply lived as you are, wouldn't that be a relief? Because it is possible, anon. The pain doesn't need to be as harsh as it is.
I don't mean to say you ought to give it all up. That's too much. The last guy who managed to do that became a God.

The usual Nihilist/anti-natalist talking point for suicide is that it would only increase suffering for the people around you. It would be a most selfish act whose consequences worsen everyone's life.
I'm thinking of reading Camus onstream.
