Why Chose To Die

Decent Essays
Why live when it's easier to die
Why smile when it's easier to cry
Why try to pass when all you do is fail
Why feel pain when you can make it go away
Why love when love is full of doubt
Why can't anyone tell me what life's about
In spite of all I know that I want to live
But why do I feel I have nothing left to give

    Pretend you were told you are going to die in ten seconds, what are you going to do? Would you cry, get angry, and throw a fit or would you use what time you have left and look for things to be thankful for, see the world, and hear what it has to say? You choose the second option and realize how much you miss throughout your life. You wish you would have decided to do this earlier, but now it's too late. Would you want this to be you-to never be truly happy until 10 seconds before you're dead?…

    I don’t really have ten reasons that I will die alone, but I read that if you put a number in your post title you get more hits. Sorry for the deception, but since you are already here please read on. I may not have ten reason that I will die alone, but I firmly believe they will find me one day, lazy-boy in the recline position, a spilled glass of scotch by my side (hope it’s the cheap stuff; hate to waste anything good), my NETFLIX queue empty, and a cat sniffing at my rotting corpse (wait, I don’t have a cat – how did he get in here?) It may not work out exactly like that, perhaps I will go quietly in my sleep with family at my side, but I’m pretty sure I won’t leave a second wife behind as a widow.…

    For some, life without meaning is equivalent to death. Does this mean that if life has no true meaning, why bother living if the end result is dying? The meaning of life is discussed in both Man’s Search for Meaning by Viktor E. Frankl, and The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker. Both books illustrate how enduring suffering, letting go of objects and accepting death allows and motivates humans to feel meaningful. Man’s Search for Meaning includes Viktor’s real life experiences from concentration camps from a psychological perspective, while The Denial of Death takes an interesting view of mental illness and the anxieties man faces from life.…

Many argue that euthanasia, or the right to end one’s life when suffering, should be limited due to one’s religious or moral views. Yet, it is not a stranger's decision to make, but the person who's life is being terminated.…

    Life is a very broad, difficult topic to speak about. Often times, people have conflicting thoughts on what they think the value of life is, what the point of life is, or what life is really supposed to mean. Should it be based off of materialistic possessions? Should who a person is or what they do with their life define them? Or should humans simply live as they desire and not put a price tag on another person until after they are dead?…
