Sometimes, when I watch nature documentaries and see scenes of predators and prey, I can't help but feel a sense of melancholy. It seems that all animals, in order to survive, are forced to sustain themselves through mutual harm and competition. Even humans are no exception; the only difference is that we distinguish between indirect and direct harm.
I hate the fact that I wasn't born by choice, and that when I want to die, I don't even have the option of a painless death.
If there were a system for assisted dying, I could clearly die happily and peacefully surrounded by my loved ones, but that's something I'll never be able to achieve in this lifetime. If such a system existed, I might be willing to work for a few years to visit a few more countries, though that would require a good nationality and passport – things I don't possess, ha ha. If I could die happily in the end, I could reflect more calmly and clearly on the choices and attitudes I truly desire, without having to endure the 'noise' of suffering. The essence of life lies in experience; if life is reduced to nothing but unbearable suffering, then it is meaningless. Some euthanasia laws impose extremely onerous conditions, and it remains illegal in most countries – how cruel. There are so many people in the world suffering various forms of pain, and so many living in extreme poverty… Therefore, procreation itself is immoral, particularly when parents face intense survival pressures and poverty. Unless parents are capable of ensuring their children are completely spared from severe suffering (which is rarely possible), it is fundamentally unreasonable. The essence of happiness is, in fact, merely the alleviation of suffering. If there were a well-developed assisted dying system, procreation might be viewed as a neutral option; but in its absence, procreation appears cruel, and even carries a strong element of 'coercion'.
Thank you for reading this far.
