If you knew something, if you could do something…
Something that would save your loved ones years of pain
Something that would make each day more meaningful
Something that they might one day understand
Something that would make everything you did more valuable
Would you act? If it meant giving yourself an expiration date? Should you act for the better good? Is it presumptuous to determine this, or is it honesty, a glimpse of reality?

Mm if only life made it more clear what that something is…
Just listen…it will. 😉
Yeah, I need more information…
Are you some sort of super secret spy agency trying to obtain information?
no, you offered a premise without giving us enough facts to make a fake decision
Fact 1. Some people’s very existence makes other people’s lives difficult.
Fact 2. There are some fates worse than death.
Fact 3. You could bow out gracefully or whither out in pain and humility after destroying the ones you love.
I’m not giving anyone permission to ‘off’ themselves, if that is what you are asking.
I thought you were more liberal than that.
I’m not stopping them, just don’t want to be personally responsible. This needs to be a group effort.
What I’m thinking is that there should be a way you could put a hypothetical end date on your life. Like, hey everyone on August 5, 2020 I’m checking out.
Then everyone would value the time you have including yourself, and you would spare your loved ones the agony of watching your body destroy itself. Proactive living. Proactive dying.
I think Doctor Kevorkian tried to initiate that as an option, but he was creepy and a horrible spokesperson for the idea. I am not saying I don’t think the idea has its place.
I’m a good spokesperson for the idea. Just a wheelchair chick who thinks dying shouldn’t have to be miserable.
You are not alone. I might even have done a post about it.
