Not by force. But, as the creature feels suffering, you give them the option: to not be, anymore. A choice they can make. A way out. A way that they never have to suffer again. And maybe you even offer to that creature to be like you. To go around the world, telling people how to remove themselves from reality. No, we don't force you. But if the multiverse just keeps existing and just keeps being horrible, and as a matter of cosmic law cannot be made better...why wouldn't you get out of it? If the multiverse must include suffering, then the way to minimize suffering is to softly, gently, deliberately, destroy the multiverse, by opting in. When existence is suffering, and can't be made different, then existence itself is the problem.I wonder if whatever life-forms that exist when the heat-death of the universe is imminent will have a perspective like this. No, we can't make it better. No, nobody will be left. No, we can't continue this project. All we can do is say goodbye.</blockquote>
