How does the concept of oblivion affect you? ?

You already experienced nothingness for an infinite time before you were born. Was it all that bad? 

Remember, when you are unconscious, you don't experience time. So relative to you, time passes infinitely fast. Eternity is over in a millisecond. 

I don't  think that your thinking this out very well.  You can only  form an opinion of  total oblivion from your present  position of being alive and kicking.  If and when total oblivion occurs you will have no conscious thought of a past existence, memories, likes and dislikes, etc, etc  because you will not exist in any way.

The concept of an 'after this life immortality' was a human concept invented by mankind for  his own satisfaction.  He is still waiting for someone to return  and relate  how it is organised, etc, etc.   Until then, his belief in his own immortality  provides him with a considerable solace  in his own importance.

What absolutely audacious crap of the highest order from one of your responders. What that person claims is even contrary to Christian theology.

I care not one jot about what you call oblivion. I know one day I will die. When I am dead that is the end of it. There is absolutely no point in being concerned about it. There is nothing you can do to prevent it. Once it has happened you will not know nor be able to care.

My ego is not so huge that I feel there needs to be an eternal existence of me.

If someone is oblivious to the point of ignoring others, that would be obnoxious.  But if someone must resort to adopting an oblivious attitude toward another person who annoys him or her, that would be understandable.

That sounds very good. No more suffering. No more anything.

Nope, not at all. Humans perhaps not but -

Life breaks free, Life will find a way

It doesn't affect me in the slightest degree. I deal with this concept by asking myself how I felt before I was born.

It has no effect on me at all, once I am dead it won't matter to me a bit.  Until then, I choose to live my life to the fullest that I can, to help others, to appreciate the simple things and to enjoy each day.

It terrifies me.

I am oblivious to it

I know where I am going when I set aside this mortal coil
