> Well, full life not already lived. Do people only get to go peacefully if they had a "full life"?
No, you get to go peacefully if that's what you choose to do. You're right; once the will to live is gone, your body Will become ill, or your mind will cause you to kill yourself by suicide, or you will have an accidental death or terrible circumstance which may reduce you to vegetable matter. Yes, these things happen when you have no will to live for long enough. I know someone who lost that will and simply disappeared; I believe he walked off into the forest somewhere and just never came back.
You're complaining about society's outlook on death and dying. Wyy? I mean, if you truly want to die, as it sounds like you do, why come here? Why not just die?
Read this: If there were people I could know, who trusted to respect me and who allow me to be honest without tampering in my personal outlook, I would probably feel more welcome in this world. You wrote that, and the fact that you wrote that says, to me anyway, that you don't totally want to die. And you don't sound that old, either. You sound spiritually demoralized. And I think you really would love to find a reason to live. And you probably have a couple, but no energy or desire, right now.
But, I'm probably wrong. So go at me, if you're still here.
