I’m not sure I want to die of a heart attack if I live to old age. I thought maybe I’d use a gun to relieve my suffering so that everything would end quickly, but I’m too scared. Are there any recommendations on how to die without suffering or something like that? Maybe I should leave this world during a happy dream?
Or should I humble myself and go through suffering before I die?
I’m clarifying: it’s not that I want to commit suicide when I’m young or right now, no, I mean when, let’s say, I have one day, a week or a month left to live suffering from an illness, or I know that after a while I’m going to have a heart attack that will definitely kill me.
In the comic “The Sandman” the personification of Death comes for a wizard who has managed to avoid her for 5,000 years.
“Well, I lasted 5,000 years,” he tells her. “You must be pretty impressed.”
She shakes her head.
“You got exactly the same thing as everyone else. One lifetime.”
Worrying about dying is a waste of time. Make the most of your life.
He’s not a wizard. He is just a ‘normal’ human who didn’t decay but died of an accident.
