> How can you miss something you never had. Everyone says that love is the best thing that happended to them. They would rather love and lost then never loved before. But what are we really missing out on? Everyones experience with everything is different. What if what we did not do would have caused major pain, just in doing it?
Hmmm... that's a very interesting point that you guys are making. People (usually therapists) have said all that to me, like, you'll never know what could have happened, you'll never get the chance to see if life can get better if you kill yourself now. And I've thought to myself even, that I'll miss out on my future and all the possibilities.
But you're kind of right. I mean, how CAN you miss something you never had? If I die, and no longer exist, I won't be missing anything. Other people will be missing things for me, like "she had such a bright future", but not me.
