I believe perfect society must have free painless exit appointments for adults without any requirements. It's because there will be no high pressure environments for those who accept their fate like I do. I just do things without getting stressed much.

I don't want to fight in a rat race anymore. I can lose or win and it doesn't matter. If I win this time, I'll call it luck. Whether it will last long or not I don't know and don't care. All I care about is making sure my CTB plan is painless (everyone has their own painless definition - I might be ok with vomiting and some headache etc)
