How on Earth did you jump to those conclusions? That's like implying the greatest team of all time must be the loneliest team of all time, therefore it must suck so much it would need to suicide itself.
I'd prefer to look at the exact opposite. My hypothetical supremacy would cause others to gravitate towards me, not away from me. Just as people gravitate towards rich, popular, athletic, and attractive people right now. And just because of my personality, I'd make myself a "safe haven" & protector of the weakest creatures. That way they could finally enjoy their existence without fear of oppression, being eaten, etc.
And once the other "strong" creatures realized that they could never defeat me & that I'd always stop them from doing wrong, they'd eventually go along with my plans as well. I could always force them to, but it would be better if they came to that conclusion on their own. And in the OP's example, I'd then use my powers of creation to create all kinds of new lifeforms & environments. I've even create different simulations where the laws of physics are vastly different from each other.
In other words, I think it would be the exact opposite of the lonely existence you described.

Sound pretty ego-driven if you ask me.

LOL Well, yeah. The thread is asking us to hypothetically be a God of Love. How can something be a depressed or suicidal God of Love? How does that even make sense? Love is on the opposite side of the spectrum from depression, loneliness, and suicide.

Yet your conclusion of being lonely & thus killing yourself is a better option? Really?

Yep. Game over, insert 50 cents to play again. Otherwise you are just milking your ego.

You have never been a god like what is described in the op. Maybe one day you'll learn what that sort of thing is really all about. Myself, I would be terrified.

To be blunt, I don't think it would suit you anyway. How could someone who talks so freely of suicide & loneliness even understand the concept of love as the OP asks?
If you understood what real "love" was, you'd know that loving & being loved are cures for depression, loneliness, and suicidal thoughts. And you'd also know that suicide can cause undo hardships & negativity on any family or friends who cared about the one committing suicide. And that doesn't even touch on the effects it would have on the people & pets who may be dependent on the person who quits on life.
My example even included me becoming a safe haven for the weak, so they could live without the very feelings you described. Yet you concluded that's "ego driven" lol. So I'll just agree to disagree with you since you're either trolling or just don't understand the OP or the "game" we were to be playing.

I think it is that very love, not the lack of it, that makes me abhor the idea of being such an entity. Don't get me wrong, I can understand how it appeals to you as a human being. We are very egocentric creatures. But all you have are human imaginings of an inhuman existence. You can only pretend to appreciate what it is to be a god, because you have never been there.
