Personally, do you find it better to live in pain or die in ecstasy?

If I die like that, can I come back and answer?

U tell meeeeewhat kinda question is that anywy?

can tell you not sure how I'd feel once dead, so it's #1 for me

Give me health, or give me death.

You get used to pain. You don't get the chance to get used to death, at least not in my humble opinion.

I have been in constant pain for going on 9 years now, it gets better, maybe someday Ill get worse and have to have the nerves blocked, or surgery, but till then I rather deal with pain, too many people worse off now that they had the same procedures so I find creative ways to manage pain, and minimize pain, or think past pain, but pain is not a stranger to me, and apparently not to many many people around the world.

As far as ecstasy in death, your going to have to explain what you meant there . . .

I don't know about an ecstatic death, but afterwards is probably way better than this. However, I'm here for a reason and I intend to stick it out. Hopefully, I will learn enough this time around so I don't have to come back again.

As the saying goes,

Certainly, everything's relative -- there are different degrees of pain: bearable and unbearable, permanent and temporary, etc... But, given a choice between the unbearable permanent pain and ecstasy in death -- assuming the question refers to an adult person -- I'd rather die with the smile on my face than drag on a miserable existence of pain and suffering! (and not even being reimbursed for that... )

One of my closest friends has Norse bloodline in him.
So I'm responsible for his service.

He wants me to float his bloated corpse into the Pacific and shoot flaming arrows at it until he is incinerated.

I can barely use a bow.

****ing friends, ya know?

I'd rather live in pain; at least when I feel pain, I know I can feel something...anything.

Seriously.

Not too difficult - get a bunch of friends for the memorial service provide the bows & arrows (ask for donantions to offset the expense)and have at it.

Of course you could cop out - where ever you think he is, do you REALLY think he's in the same frame of mind? Do you really think he'd care about the dead and useless material he left behind? Guilt and a sense of ought are only things that apply in the physical world - do you really think the spiritual world cares about such things?????

If anything goes on - let's hope it is love and if you send your friend off, no matter how, with all the love you have, will that not be enough?

Yea but you know, its never for the dead, its for the living these things.

Id do it. But then again I can quite handily shoot a bow.


As far a advice, I can guarantee that if you go down to a local gun shop or outdoor store there will be someone there that would be willing to offer some quick lessons, show you the ropes, and maybe even come to the service to help insure it goes smoothly. (ie shoot for you or with you ect)

Also, I am really sorry about your friend, I know what its like to loose someone so young, its certainly not easy.

If I where in Michigan Id come help.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize your friend was already dead. I thought this was something he wanted you to do when he died.

I have taken archery lessons and it is not hard to learn and I really enjoy it. I'd like to get back into it as soon as my life normalizes.

Only felt exstacy a few times, wouldnt want to die that way cause it would probably make my family blush,,,

Sounds like a good rationalization for a person with a broken heart or a lot of physical pain to over dose himself on drugs until death.

Live in pain.

Would that be legal?

Sounds like a lot of fun for a bunch of drunks.

No offense of course. You better do it, he may be watching.

I think he'll be just as happy a corpse if you simply bow to him.

Get a flame-thrower and call it a "bow".

I am pissed off today because I bought a tub of sour cream that has no sour cream in it, but shooot like guam gum, and ascerbic acid and other shoooot.

I looked at all the other brands that were there, and nothing that says "Sour Cream" has any sour cream in it.

So a flame thrower can be called a bow, according to the new rules of language that serves the profiteering of the fat capitalist swine.
