Finally someone's catching : "what if dying isn't as bad as we think?"

The Guardian Newspaper:
"What if dying isn't as bad as we think?"

They say:
"Research comparing perceptions of death with accounts of those imminently facing it suggest that maybe we shouldn't worry so much about our own end"

There is a movement thats about death-positivity. We live in a culture of silence that is too afraid to talk about death as its too "grim" and "morbid", when really it's natural and part of life. Also talking about end-of-life options, respecting the wishes and open discussions about the whole thing is a healthy subject.

Although death positivity are not right-to-die believers like most of us are. It's more about natural causes than suicidality

Well observed. Its a start though. Sad it is only the start of the start, so to speak, in many places

You would expect pro-lifers to only engage in activities that support life, i mean i could smoke and drink to try hasten my death rather than drink SN. Their thinking is deluded.

I'm witnessing it these days. my old friend is dying, terminal. He's just worn with age (77). It isn't that worse. It's just... well, natural.

Apart from that, it's a really interesting thought; what IF it isn't that worse… taking your own life. I have thought about it and the only thing that comes up; I could have delayed my exit then. As if the foce behind leaving gets a less pronounced meaning.

This reminds me of Aeon Flux. How death gives life meaning. It was a pro death movie basically.
