I’d rather be alive engulfed in flames than dead.
- entropyneur 1y agoHave you been engulfed in flames before? I've definitely experienced mental states that were worse than being dead. I don't regret remaining alive because of all the positive experiences I've had afterwards. But if we are talking about extending suffering that's only followed by death, I don't see the point.

- iwontberude 1y agoNot yet fortunately. All life is some amount of suffering and then you die. I agree I’m probably not correct about how I would feel in the moment.
- animuchan 1y agoThis is probably untrue (but you do you!) Beginning at some acute level of pain you actually want to detach from the failing body.
- iwontberude 1y agoYeah you right
- matwood 1y agoI’m wondering if you’ve ever felt debilitating acute pain. I had nerve pain in the past to where my leg felt like it was on fire. It was then I understood how people get addicted to pain killers. I was able to address the problem and I’ve been fine for many years, but it hurt more than any pain I’ve ever had - and I have had many from sports.
- iwontberude 1y agoI guess I just mean to say I love living and I’ll enjoy it to the last drop.
