I'm glad you have peace in this life. For many, peace won't come until they pass.

We are obsessed with quantity, but I never hear a good review beyond 50 irl, just a list of pain.

I've seen some cool shit and tolerated more than my share of strife. First chronic health problem, I'm out. I'd rather choose when then have it chosen for me.

It's selfish of the people in your life to expect you to suffer for them until that suffering finally consumes you whole.

I feel more or less the same, and agree that we should respect people's end-of-life wishes.

But FWIW pain management has come a long way. When your doctor first brings you bad news, don't make assumptions, ask lots of questions and get the details.

i mean, i hear you on choosing your end, but i have known some folks who enjoyed later life. my mom died suddenly a couple years ago, and she confessed to me over the last couple years that she was ready to go when her time came. that said, i think she was happier in her early 70's than i had ever known her to be otherwise. and my family certainly doesn't have money to smooth the way.

i think she just decided to make the most of it, made an effort to enjoy her community and stayed super active. i'm hoping i will handle aging as well as she did.

They look like they are being forced to smile at gunpoint.
