Just want to vent again I guess. Recently I saw someone on Reddit talking about how hard their life is because of their many medical problems, which requires lots of operations and their health kept worsening. The person is clearly in a lot of pain. And that is not the only story - I have seen so many stories of people suffering a severe disorder that they have to live the rest of their life with, and with the nature of aging, it only worsens with time.
When I see these people, I have a silent hope: that something happens and they get a painless death. An accident, a failed surgery that leaves them dead, whatever. I always want to ask these people "if you can painlessly die now, would ya?" Not all of them would say yes but I can't imagine all of them saying no either. It's a weird thing to say but I believe some lives are better ditched. It's like what we do with pets when they're in too much pain. Like how it's possible for fruits to be "spoiled", it's possible for the human body to spoil as well. And when someone is living in a clearly rotten body, all they feel is pain. They won't be able to experience beauty, they won't live happily.
In Canada assisted death is legal and I have heard so many people laugh at that idea and I'm like... why? Why hold on to life so dearly? maybe this is because I don't understand how some views the world but I fail to see how it makes sense to keep a clearly painful person around.
To love is to let go. Even when it hurts. Am I wrong?
