| | I've decided on the perfect way to die.I have decided on the supremely best way to die. This is under optimal conditions, of course, but if I have any say in the matter I will have no complaints in dying in this manner.
First off, I will be cremated. I will be scattered. If you put me in a pot and keep me I WILL haunt you. Scatter me into a lake or river of my choosing (I'll decide that sometime later). Additionally, DO NOT get a headstone or other sort of stupid remembrance to place in either the spot I died or in a random field somewhere. That would piss my ghostly form off even more than being stuck in a pot. If you must have a "remembrance piece", keep it personal. There will be no public reminder of my life/death, because I don't desire it.
I have causes. I have reasons. I have compassion. I feel little to nothing, but I feel a universal sense of compassion for any and all. That said, THOSE things are the best reason to die. If I truly care for something, then I am willing to die for it to thrive. Thus, I am willing to die for all things I feel this compassion for. Better still, I feel this for essentially anything and anyone. That's right. Friend, stranger, spectral entity peering over my shoulder: I care about you. I can't help it. I could even take it so far as to say I Love You.
And so now I come to the cause of death. I'm sure most of you have figured it out at this point. Quite simply, I want to die protecting someone or something. Whether anyone remembers it or not is of no consequence, as the last thought in mine own mind would be one of sheer joy and likely quite a bit of pride as well. It doesn't even need to be anything physical. I am willing to lay it all on the line for something as abstract as an ideal. If I died for an idea, at the least I can guarantee that the particular idea would live on forever.
And that's the point. LIFE. Perhaps not mine, but that is a small sacrifice to pay for the infinite others. |
