do you get jealous of old people cause they can CTB at any time?

i mean not those old people who are suffering with illnesses, but those who can move around independently and are basically healthy but just old (75+)

these people have maybe 5-10 years max and can just drop at any day with a sudden heart attack and be done with. kind of wish i was in their shoes

There are no guarantees it will be a peaceful death with dignity.
It might be a horrific experience before passing away, with lots of pain and suffering.
It is really sometimes terrifying to get old.
Like all those health problems added to the problems you already had before...
Definitely not my choice.

I am jealous of old people because they breathed better air, were innocent longer, had better clothes, food, communication, community, cars ,roads, prices, jobs, t.v. ,movies and concerts. I don't think it's the same game to want to give up while your young.

Nope, being old seems like it would suck for so many reasons.

I don't get jealous because I don't ever want to be that old.

I don't get jealous because number one you don't know the horrors they might have lived through. What if they had chronic pain, illness since they were younger? Seeing their friends, siblings, SO pass. My grand pop in my father side died a horrific long "natural" deatH. He went blind and had dementia about 5 years before dying a horrific passing. That's why I'm not dying old. I'm pretty sure I can hang myself in that time. I want a young, easy clean passing while time is still on my side I wanna be spared from all that. Don't let me get started on my 90 year old grandma who had 12 children. High hump back, No teeth, 2 hip replacements.Outlived 3 children(so far) . 2 who died tragically. One died by a drunk driver and another by a massive heart attack. Her husband who died 50 years ago from cancer. Her son who is schizophrenic 63 year old man Who she still takes care of since he developed it since he was 19. She has a 71 year old son who is a hoarder and violent alcoholic and steals from her and who still lives with her and on life support since he's dying. Saw also saw the death of 2 of her grandchildren. Do you want me to continue? People who say they want a big family and want to stay "healthy "around to see them grow up good luck. Your in for a hell of a long horrific ride. The only ones I'm jealous are the one who die young with a decent passing

I don't think there are 75+ that healthy, especially if they have 5-10 years left. Besides that it doesn't matter how old are you, you may CTB anytime, anyway and anywhere you like and still is not that easy to die.

I just lost a 95-yr old grandparent. He outlived his wife by 45 years, lost 4 children, had Alzheimer's, a stroke left him paralyzed on one side. When hospice came last week and explained they were going to turn up his medicine until he passed, they asked if he understood. His memory was on a 7-minute loop, but he said he was ready for his plane ticket out of here. I don't want to live as long as he did in his condition. No way.

Go to a nursing home and hospice and see for yourself. It's not like the movies

I'm afraid I really don't follow your logic here at all.
