But human existence is suffering. Buddhism teaches that if you do incredibly well, you’ll be reborn as a being with a worry-free life. Being a plankton sounds exactly like that.
IMO human existence, with all its benefits, is waaaaay below plankton.
The way they die in old age does not appeal to me.
Growing forever, but eventually when they get too large, their shell becomes so difficult to molt that they die of exhaustion before they can complete their molt.
Homie led the plankton revolt of 1831479QT, and ushered in a golden age of cooperation and peace between the sea Lords and planktonions, so that only the old, sick, and recently deceased plankton would fuel the hunger of the overlords, and doesn’t even remember

Thoughts and prayers. I hope you get your wish.
I wanna be a lobster

Damn, I didn’t realize plankton had it so hard. Makes sense that it would be krill or be krilled.
He was a good christian plancton.
Then wouldn’t he have gone to plankton heaven?
