Have you any children? And if you lost one would you want to believe you never again could have the chance to see that child. A soboring thorugt. A ugly world you must live.

I think I'm having a soboring thorugt right now
While a nice idea, it doesn't make it true. It is true if it reflex reality, not because it would be comforting. It would be comforting and nice for me to have an extra million dollars, but my bank account is still at -$14.52.
It would still be nice through... Just saying.
We can flip it around.
Imagine being in heaven, while watching your own child screaming in Hell.
Your options are:
1) Hope that your creator changes you into something incapable of feeling remorse or empathy for former loved ones;
2) Hope that your creator erases all memory of your loved ones;
3) Endure it.
This is the world you're describing.
No children, no. I don't WANT to believe that, no, I hope that in some way you do get to meet your loved ones, but I still live this life as if this is it, as in taking many chances to see my loved ones here and now, not holding it off till after death.
How is refusing to accept reality a "soboring thorugt"? I live in reality, which IS very ugly. I try making it a little bit better, instead of closing my eyes and singing "lalalalala, I can't see it".
No children (unless you count an aborted fetus, which you idiots generally do), but plenty of other family. I'd love to think I could see them again and spend all eternity with them, but I know it won't happen.
Reality sucks sometimes, but wishing it away won't change anything.
“Have you any children?”
“And if you lost one would you want to believe you never again could have the chance to see that child.”
"A soboring thorugt.”
“A ugly world you must live.”
Confused?
