I understand completely what you are saying but "nothingness" won't be "blissful"? It won't be "anything".

I struggled for a long time to come to terms with the concept of being nothing for ever and not even knowing I ever lived, that thought has never seemed very blissful to me. That said I couldn't imagine living for ever either, everything has to end at some point.

You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
