What does it feel like to not exist?

This was literally a question on Quora and I wrote a funny answer to it long time ago. Let me post it here too.

What does it feel like to not exist?

To be honest, it is an awesome feeling. It is certainly better than existing.

I can answer this question because I have a great experience in not existing. Existing in this universe generally means struggle, pain, anxiety and lot of other shitty things. (To be fair, it is a mixed bag, there’s good things about existence too)

I have been not existing since about 13.8 Billion Years (time since big bang and creation of universe.)

Also, all the terrible things happened in this world when I wasn’t existing. Such as the two world wars, the holocaust, the European imperialism and countries like India’s struggle for independence. So, not existing during such times is kinda awesome.

I am looking forward to completing my time on earth and die so I can go back to not existing. Trust me, it is not as bad as it sounds.
