In the movie ‘Byzantium’, there was the suggestion that ‘sometimes death releases people’. Well, that’s the way a vampire seemingly nihilistically rationalises how it’s okay to literally suck the life out of the old and dying in hospitals with a death wish. But does death really release folks from suffering? It is release only if (1) one becomes nothingness; with no sensation or (2) one becomes something pain-free (neutral) or even blissful.<\/p>\n
On (1), it is impossible to become utter nothingness, given so many cases of near-death experiences and accounts of proven accurate recollection of past lives. Some might argue that some might become nothingness. Well, there’s no proof of this, while there is much of the opposite. On (2), how one feels must be related causally to how the quality of one’s last thought was. So, how can a vampire’s painful puncture and suction release one?<\/p>\n
There is also the idea that ‘eternal life only comes to those prepared to die.’ This happens to be the direct opposite of nihilism; it’s eternalism. Again, since how one becomes must be linked to the last thought, how can being painfully ‘vampired’ lead to an eternally unchanging pain-free state of life (i.e. by becoming a vampire)? Vampire mythology is fictitious of course, though believers would rationalise that they are a secretive race, hard to discern or prove existent! The alternative? Gain immeasurable life by becoming a Purelander!<\/p>\n
