  1. Or how about burning alive? Or freezing to death? Or dying of hunger? These are awful ways to die. Being buried alive makes me cringe.

     

    Yes there's really nothing like a quick death. The best is dying in your sleep. What better way of dying than that?

     

    It's not just HOW one will die, but ultimately it is the circumstances of one's death.

     

    A quick death is indeed desirable, but what if you die of a gunshot wound to the head from a stray bullet on new year's day? Is that way we would wish to leave this life?

     

    Dying in our sleep is also desirable, but then I remember a quote from a Magic: The Gathering card: "Far too many soldiers have died in their beds." This seems to allude that there are many who die for nothing. Soldiers, like the warriors of old, were born to fight for a cause and to die in battle. There was no greater honor for a warrior, and to die an old man helpless in one's bed was such a shame. Though I too want to die peacefully in my sleep as an old man who has lived a full life, I do not discount those who want to depart from this life fighting out there for a cause which they believe in. For while they may suffer a violent death, it is a glorious one nonetheless.

     

    But on this topic, the words of Tyrion Lannister are the best:

     

    Shagga: How would you like to die, Tyrion, son of Tywin?

    My former congressman boss once showed me his Rolex watch, and asked me what I thought. I said it looked nice. Then he said it's just a replica that he bought for 5k, but since it was him who was wearing it, no one would think it was just a replica. laugh.gif
