It's so strange to me how comfortable we are with telling the old that they're a burden who should choose death or have it chosen for them — For The Good of Society. People let these things fall out of their mouths with no thought at all, like accidental sometime-death cultists

Death is a horrifying thing. I don't think you should choose it for yourself. I especially don't think you should spread memes that encourage people to think of themselves, including their future selves, as burdens on society who are unworthy of life.

No. Death is not horrifying.

It absolutely is, in every manifestation, which is why we keep its implements out of the hands of anyone who might use them on themselves or others in all but the most horrific circumstances.

Usually, "dying" people are happy when they leave us. It doesn’t say anything about our immortality.

If a person is healthy, happy, and with the faculties they value in themselves, we don't expect them to kill themselves or welcome death. When they're in pain, suffering terrible health, and losing themselves, the root of the problem is not that they are not dead.

I can understand it. I am just saying that dying people could be, or more precisely, they “look” happy. I saw hundreds of them...
