What kind of philosophy/perspective is this: the desire for non-existence after death combined with a belief in God and being a good person?
For further context, imagine it’s a person who believes in God(s)/spirits/prayer, but ultimately wishes for a quiet ending in the afterlife. Basically, instead of the peace of eternity, it’s the peace of ‘nothingness.’
The kind of person who believes that eternity is overwhelming/undesired, even eternal paradise, and believes that if they ask/pray to God for non-existence after death that it might be given to them. In their mind, this is another way to have peace after death. Since memory is the only thing that’s left of a person, their main motivation in life is to be a good person who leaves a good memory of themselves behind for their loved ones and people they encountered
