People want the right to die at a time of their own choosing. Too many families have watched helplessly as a relative dies slowly, longing for death.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A lot of people want to die for a lot of reasons.
Deep down, no one really believes they have a right to live. But this death sentence generally stays tucked away, hidden beneath the difficulty of living. If that difficulty is removed from time to time, death is suddenly there, unintelligibly.
The right to choose to live or to die is the most fundamental right there is; conversely, the duty to give others that opportunity to the best of our ability is the most fundamental duty there is.
There is something about this generation living now, that we don't accept death.
Death is the wish of some, the relief of many, and the end of all.
Death is the great hope of all life; the desire to expend itself; to be used and consumed by its own longing for itself.
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new.
It's unnatural to believe death usually has a beauty and a concordance and is usually a coming together of your life's work. It leads to frustration for the patient. And it leaves grieving families convinced they did something wrong.
Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live.
The acceptance of death gives you more of a stake in life, in living life happily, as it should be lived. Living for the moment.
