Something horrible is happening, and there's nothing you can do to stop it.
Lets back up a little, to the start of this train of thought.
Lets assume something we use to comfort ourselves regularly to be truth: "Nothing is forever."
Now, we normally use this to comfort ourselves, all of the bad things will end eventually.
Now, that means that life will end eventually, ending in Death.
But that also means Death will end eventually, too.
"Okay, this guy is some rebirth fanatic, I'll just sage this thread and move on," but bear with me, the cycle of rebirth must also end eventually, but into what?
"The universe will end, so what?" But then what ever follows will end, too.
"So another universe will pop up, okay?" But then that must end.
"See above." But then that cycle must end.
"You lost me." Thats where I'm going.
Just what happens after this cycle of universes ends? What could possible come next? And what after that? And after that? We cannot possibly imagine the end of this horrid infinite loop.
Lost in a void of things extremely bad and good at the same time, how will you feel?
The pain seems like it would never end, but according to our assumed truth it must.
Game as life seems, every once in a while you just have to stop and read the first words of the last five lines.

nope, death doesnt end, good try though...
unless of course you meant it some sort of energy transformation kinda way, like (human) body->humus->plant->animal-> (part of another humans) body

Oh, my goodness, something just cracked in my head. Live in the now, while looking to the future is what I believe in.

then again, i probably should have known it since its posted in random and not in serious discussion, but nowaday with the average internet dweller i assume the worst (or dumbest for that matter), so i m always there to clarify...
at least till i notice they are trolls...

Oh come on, I can't believe you did that to me. I was excited because this seemed like a thread that I'd actually enjoy posting in, perhaps even posting more than once in said thread, and then it turns out to be a troll?

You can not win the game with that! By saying you won the game you are remembering the game! You've created a paradox!
Also, i am not a troll.

I know, right? The only way to win is through Alzheimer's disease.
Regardless,

Beat me to it.
Also, you can win the game by not having any thoughts at all. But it's hard to exist that way, for most people.
Even if this wasn't all shinanigans, it would be another type of shinanigans. The base assumption is obiously wrong. Everything sucks and always will.

You also forget you can win by refusing to play.

“A theory states that if a person was to figure out exactly what the universe it, and why it is here, and how it works, it would right away disappear and be replaced by something else, even more irrational. Another theory states that this has already happened.”
