It's really not so bad. Consider some other ways things could have played out:

  • The Universe starts out as an empty void and stays that way. No Big Bang happens, so no matter gets created and therefore nobody ever exists. Boring.
  • The Universe exists and you pop into existence at some point, but you cannot die. Sounds fun at first but check back in a couple billion years and see if you still feel that way.

All things considered, there are much worse possible outcomes than this.

They all seem unsatisfactory personally, which is why i feel trapped. Maybe if i was a cat instead i wouldnt care (would be pretty nice)
