Random Question #10

If you could choose your death, how would it be? And yes, I do know that some or even most of you would want to die naturally, but dying in honor is a good way to go.

Ideally, something quick and painless, though I would still want to see it coming.

Honestly, quick and painless. But, it would be cool if I died doing what I loved.. which probably meant that my death would be being mauled by a tiger or lion...

That's a very good question you've got there. This is one of the most important questions we all need to answer. Not for the sake of death but for the sake of life, such as it is.
Since we can't run away from death (nor we want to, everyone who ever tried only suffered as a result), being afraid of it serves no point, it's outright stupid even. Being afraid in general is stupid, it only distracts us from the important thing: What do we do? Now here is something worth the time and energy to think about.
Life itself is entirely pointless, and on top of it is very troublesome and painful to keep rolling. The question here is "Why?" Everyone has an answer which works for them personally, this is the answer that gives some meaning to this whole thing. What works for me is... pride, as petty as this is. I cannot stomach the idea of simply surrendering, this is going to mean that everything I ever did in my life was for nothing, every single ounce of pain was pointless, every single hour of toil was useless. I cannot swallow this, I just can't, I don't work that way. Without pride, my life stops being worth living. Without pride, only pain remains. I don't want to live like this, none of you, people, do; trust me, I've been there. Death is the only thing you want at that point.

I want to die doing something good, I don't care if it hurts or not, pain means nothing. Life itself is pain, why be afraid of it?I will not die a useless old man who can't wipe himself. Living like that is not worth the effort.
