I'm not being closed minded, being closed minded means you refuse to accept someone's perspective. but in this case I am just downright incapable of it.
I just can't understand your perspective no matter how hard you try to explain it, it just makes me think you're crazy.
I'm 23, my life has been a sh*tty one, but I still have the will to live, in hope that one day I can do something with it.
And that's why I don't buy it, if someone as pessimistic and misanthropic as I am can still find some reason to want to continue living, then I don't know how someone who says they enjoy life and would look forward to living longer could sincerely be so indifferent about it.
I just think people who say they believe this are being insincere. People tend to say one thing, and when the fear of death comes they become a totally different person, that kinda fear brings out the worst basic instincts in people. If people knew of an exact date for the world's destruction, they would all lose it. Because that's human nature.
And while that may seem frightening, I find the idea of someone who claims not to be vulnerable to that fear to be way more frightening. Because these are the kinda people who don't really value their existance at all, and those are the kinda homocidal maniacs who are wreaking havoc on the world as it is and just don't care.
Even if the world is a bunch meaningless chaos. Hope is all the human race has to keep going. No matter how much life sucks, trying to hold some kind of value in life is important to survival. And if you value your life, you will fear for it, there's no exceptions.
