I don't want to be lonely so I will choose the blue pill

in Hive Naija3 months ago (edited)

Since I joined social media, this question has been one of the most popular ones. It leaves your mind running for minutes, wondering which is the best pick, which is most favorable? Which works better in the long run?

In all of these questions, I would choose to bring someone back to life, specifically a loved one. Now, before I explain my reason for choosing the blue pill, I'll tell you why I'm not picking the red pill: Everlasting life.

Now, like I stated in the first paragraph there's a lot to consider before choosing any pill. It could either go well or end very badly. The red pill, in my opinion, holds more trouble than goodness; here's why I say so.

Firstly, immortality equals loneliness. You're trading the ability to die to be completely miserable; everyone you love, hate, admire, or have an interest in will leave Earth, and you'll be alone. Both humans, animals, and plants. Your heart would shatter a million times, leaving you in terrible misery and pain no one can cure. It would eventually numb your heart, and soon you would be a robot with no emotions except you're human.

Secondly, your short stay on earth already accumulates a whole lot of traumatic events. Think about how immortality will ruin your mental health for eternity. You would have a traumatic response to a lot of things, and when you think you're recovering from one, the world throws another one at you, making it a maze of never-ending sadness.

Finally, you have the chance of having a lifelong disease; immortality allows you to live forever; it, however, doesn't promise you good health as well. There's a huge possibility that you would have a deadly disease, suffer the symptoms and just never die. Absolute torture.

These reasons aside, I would still choose the blue pill because, to me, it holds much more use and is favourable for both parties. Below are a few of my reasons.

A second chance, losing a loved one is completely disheartening, I know how much it affects mental health and your emotional being, there's always this secret longing of wanting to bond more, do more, laugh more with your deceased loved one, to appreciate them even more than when you did while they lived. This blue pill makes these wishes a reality. Finally, I could hug my loved one again and do everything we didn't have a chance to do before their death.

Their family can pay more attention to them and right their wrongs; they can get a second chance at life to fulfill their dreams and make the world theirs again.

Another reason I chose the blue pill is because it's the most selfless act between the two. I get to give multiple people another chance at happiness, at love, at undiluted joy. It's like giving a gift that cannot be bought. It's a powerful act and one that people pray for.

I see your reasoning, but I honestly think both choices would be bad if you think long and hard about it. There's no promise of good health with everlasting life, nor is there any promise of the state of the one you bring back

You are right. After I hit publish, I asked myself, "What if your loved one wouldn't want to be brought back?". It was a crazy thought for one second.

In the end, we should live our best lives since we can't tell what will happen next, right?

Thanks for visiting @caspermoeller89. How is your lovely daughter? 😍

Agreed! If you think too much about it, we could get lost in those thoughts.

She is great, thanks. Currently asleep after she felt a bit off earlier, but got over it in 30 mins.
How's things in your end? 🤗

Oh! That's great. Say me well to her when she wakes up. 😍

How's things in your end? 🤗

It rained heavily but I had a great day. We had this airdrop ($DOGS). I did not get much but it was fun to talk about it with my friends.

Isn't DOGS listed on Binance and other fairly big exchanges now? 💪🏼

It is 😁
Did you get the chance to join the airdrop?

Nope I don't think so, I ignored news I heard about it... a bit dumb, but that's life 😂

Maybe I should check... tomorrow

Everlasting life only seems 'great' in movies. In real life, not so much. too much torture and unforeseen circumstances.

Exactly. We can never know what will happen if we choose to live forever.

Firstly, immortality equals loneliness. I won't doubt this in this present age. In the absence of value(things you love) existence is a torment. It's a wise choice, yet not for everyone.

The paradox of being human. No one wants to die, but no one wants to live forever. Surely, the blue pill. Can't imagine the way I'd feel if they could be here again. But then, do you think one could feel worse off having met them again only to lose them afterwards? Or did I miss what the blue pill does?

But then, do you think one could feel worse off having met them again only to lose them afterwards?

Even though you will lose them again, this time, you will know there's no time to waste. So you will cover everything in your bucket list.

Anything you wanted to experience with them, you go ahead and don't wait around for the tomorrow that may never come

So when you finally say goodbye for the second time, it will be from a place of fulfillment

are you a bot?

😂 Why do you ask?

you are super high Activity in the #hive
hahahah

Lol. No, I am not a bot. I simply have a lot of time on my hands and Hive gives me the opportunity to spend my time well 🥺

thats good to know! hahahahhahahah

Think of this
Bringing someone back to life only for them to die again. When you haven't done all you wanted to do with the person do you get to bring them back again or let them rest .

And also, just the thought of remembering that they have died at first and was brought back to life would be ... ( Idk what to call it) But I'm sure it's not gonna be a good feel to them

Hello.

I don't have an account on Instagram and the content is mine.

This particular Inleo prompt is a popular topic and as a writer I can be creative enough to try to hook my audience from the beginning of my post.

Hello.
Everyone has social media.
Right now the account is under suspicion of identity deception.

The profile photo is fake. Source

The account needs to be verified via an established social media account.
It is very unlikely that a person without ever having social media activity suddenly decided to join Hive social media.

Of course, I have personal social media accounts and I joined Hive via X. It's stated in my introduction post.

I thought you wanted an Instagram account that proves my authorship of this post. It seems you are looking for something different.

With that being said, I apologize I won't be willing to let you in to my private account.

Thanks.

To confirm your authorship of the content, could you please add the link to your Hive blog to your well-established X account (which has not been recently created).

After you add the link, please respond to this comment with the URL link to that website.

You can remove this mention, once we confirm the authorship.

Thank you.

I'm sorry this is happening to you. I've never been impressed with narrow-minded tunnel vision. They're liars, anyway. I, @dandays, have NEVER ever ever ever ever had a social media account other than Hive. Not X or Y or Instawhatever it's called, FB, none any of them, just Hive. So, they're liars.

Quite a few years ago, on the other chain, we ran into a similar issue with our @foodfightfriday account. Because we ran the same cover image each week, they called us plagiarists. It was such a pain in the ass to get the account out of their crosshairs. Took months.

If you're interested in getting off their shitlist, seems like you can change your homepage image to an authentic image and just mention your Hive account on your X page. Then be a good little peasant and crawl back in search of forgiveness. Ridiculous.

Let me know if you need a hand.

Thank you, sir.

I am really sorry it happened to you too.

You will be surprised to know it all started because I was really really active on Chain

An individual I thought had my best interest at heart came around to ask if I was a bot. I innocently answered no. If I could go back in time, I would have ignored that question.

My friends tell me, he went to their discord server and reported my account

What was so wrong about being actively involved and engaging like everyone else?

I will spare you the details of the rest of what transpired, you are seeing the result.

Then be a good little peasant and crawl back in search of forgiveness. Ridiculous.

I will think about it. If I need a hand, I will be sure to let you know.

Thank you so much for all the support you've given me so far.

You are welcome.

Riddle me this, then: Why does your homepage say girl bot and lady bot?


I think you did the right thing by responding to that person. I'd mention them if I were you so your followers know who to avoid. Fuck anyone who has nothing better to do with their self other than write negative reviews anyway. I'm so sick of finger pointers who've probably never written a positive review in their life. Welcome to earth, where everyone receives a participation trophy.

You're not alone. I think majority consensus would agree we've seen more harm than good from Hivewatchers. At nearly $100/day paycheck, you'd think they have more street cred than enemies.

I don't know many influencers who make that much but if I did, I'd like to think they'd be more empathetic, compassionate toward those paying their salary.

Anyhoo... Good luck, sorry and all that.
