Does it need to? The whole premise is that he hates his “relatively” cushy factory management job enough to think jumping in a volcano is a better use of his life.
- joering2 3y agoI wonder if there is a worse way to go? I mean even getting your skull crushed in car accident seems lights out in less than a second. Jumping into a volcano I can imagine you stay alive for some 10 seconds or so before you obviously pass out but not before tasting lava in your stomach.
- DennisP 3y agoThat's not remotely the premise.
- DennisP 3y agoI guess I should explain. For starters, he quit his job before the volcano opportunity came up. He choice was never "keep working or jump into a volcano." He quit his job because he'd just been told he had just a few months to live, and didn't want to spend them like that. Finally, he didn't have much money. He could either scrape by in his apartment for a few months, or go on a grand adventure and die just a little earlier than he would have anyway.
