Imagine you were the last one left on earth. Everyone else around you died. Would you feel fortunate to have been there until the end, or sad it's gone forever?

THIS IS A DEEP QUESTION OKAY let's not get technical in case you're considering it. :(

A bit of both.

It'd be fascinating to see humanity through to the end, just to see how it comes to be. But then I'd get super lonely, because I'd be stuck by myself. While I'm a bit of a loner, I'm not that much of one.

I'd probably die pretty quick because I have no survival skills, so I guess I wouldn't be lonely for long.

I've actually thought about this a lot. A band I like basically had an album with that being the scenario... so yeah.

I'd be incredibly sad. No matter what, I'd be totally alone. No one to comfort me, no one to love or hate. It's all gone. I'd go absolutely mad. I do suppose in such an event I'm almost certain I would kill myself. Without other people there is no reason to live. I'd view it as more of a curse than a blessing.
If you meet me, have some courtesy, have some sympathy, and some taste.
Use all your well-learned politesse, or I'll lay your soul to waste.

Incredibly sad. To be honest, I don't think I would go on much longer, whether because I can't survive or I just wouldn't want to. I'd be incredibly lonely; it's one thing to be alone (knowing there are people out there gives comfort, I think) but to be completely alone? It'd be hard to do anything, since there would be no one to do something, WITH. :/

I would kill myself before the depression over being the last person left on earth set in.

Sad, cause I know that eventually, I'll be the next to go. And being the last person would force me to reminisce about the past, which would make me even more sad the the world's at its end... god, this is depressing. =/
he did it, not me.

I think I would be really lonely. I just don't think I could wrap my mind around the fact that every one else it gone. I Am Legend comes to mind when thinking of this. I think it would be incredibly hard as humans are social creatures. In that movie Will Smith has only his dog for company and gets depressed when the dog dies, leaving him totally alone. I think I might get depressed and go crazy.

If I just woke up and was the last person on Earth I would be very sad. Like, beyond words sad. I'd have had no chance to say my goodbyes to people, no chance to prepare myself for it. Even assuming I could somehow survive on my own after I don't think I'd have the will to do that.

I suppose if I had some reason to hope that I'd see people again (like everyone decided to go to Mars or something) I could enjoy the experience of being the only person left, but I dunno. It seems like a creepy experience at best.

I don't think I'd be able to accept it. I'd roam the Earth (well probably not the whole earth, but I'd go as far as the continent I was on) searching for another human being until I died. Probably from starvation or radiation poisoning or something.

But if I couldn't find anybody, I'd be beyond depressed. It'd just be crying all day until I got up the courage to find a gun and blow my brains out, ending the human race.

I honestly don't know what I would do if I were the last person on Earth. I guess it would all depend on what other circumstances caused everyone to die out or disappear. If everyone in the world dropped dead because of a disease or something, I don't know how long I would be able to handle living for, especially if there were just corpses laying around all over the world. Now, if it were something along the lines of everyone on Earth being abducted by aliens and they somehow missed me, I would probably try my best to survive as long as I could while either trying to make contact with other life forms, or try to create something that would let anything in the future know more about the human race, and what happened to it.

Either way, it would be very, very sad and lonely, and I wouldn't give myself more than a few years before I died, too.

Honestly some alone time with Jeebus to say I'm sorry for everything then up to the afterlife it is! Because without people, life is pointless. Who are you trying to impress? The coconut trees?
