Yeah ... and when you added the possibility that a good chunk of humanity
might go to hell, and that you might be one of those unfortunate people
yourself, then non-existence did seem like a lot less hassle.
Of course, if you somehow made it into heaven, you had to figure eternity
might be bearable somehow, but still, stressing over these options was one
of many reasons why I envied the people who never existed because I did.
