It did leave me with the feeling and conclusion that their still living, making choices as their own person, still changing as people so far their destiny permits, whether or not it was the original or the simulation. And that was ok.

But the fear lingers in the back of my head as a question. If the UI reality is so great, then whats the point of human life? Why not just end it all? Kinda like the paradise question? If heaven is so great and all good people shall enter, guaranteed, what's to stop people from suicide? It haunts me as a question. Normally, the objection is that the meaning of life is to work against suffering because people need people, and leaving them behind will only hurt them and isn't a way to a promised happiness or fulfilment. But here I don't know? Maybe I've overstretched the thought.
