You don’t know what death is.
Flamboyant authors and famous quotes state that death is a big adventure and should be embraced instead of avoided, but why? What’s wrong with your life that you want to change everything and move on to a place where you have no idea what happens? What if death is the most antagonizing event in our tangible lives? Would you be so eager as you RATIONALIZE a reason to die?
I can’t believe this. You’re attaching a positive light to something we know nothing about, and never will. Ghosts and paranormal activity, that’s all bullshit. Atoms can change their stature at any moment, our world could implode with the collapse of molecules every nano-second. Death is not an ‘adventure’ or a ‘rational decision’, it’s an idiotic mistake.
Sure, if you know that it’s going to happen, by all means, jump off the highest cliff you can to experience it, or hang-glide into a tree, or ski down an avalanche. You’re gonna die sometime in the near future, do it with a bang, I can attest to that. Or if you want a quick, painless death, ask someone to help. But leading a healthy, active life, and deciding to destroy it?
People die every two seconds without the will or power to stop it. People around the world WANT TO LIVE, but they lack food, water, money, shelter. You treat your life like it’s worth nothing. It’s an objective view, sure, you can’t take someone’s life and give it to someone else, but take this classic household example:
You’re eating a plate of dinner, pasta, rice, whatever. You don’t finish it entirly but you are full, so you proceed to throw it out. Then your parents scold you for wasting food, stating kids in Africa lack food.
So? It’s not like I ‘ave an express route to Ethiopia that I can send my plate through and feed some child. But by wasting my food, in my parents eyes, I’m taking away from someone who doesn’t have a chance at food.
Now compare that to your life. If you take it away ‘rationally’, you’re wasting what could have been someone else’s life.
Don’t be so foolish.
