Fun life, Hard death or Hard life, easy death?

[InvestigateTruth]

Firstly I don't want to make anyone upset, talking about death. So, if I did, apologies.


Question is:

Let's say, you were given two options from beginning of your life. Which one do you choose?

A. Very Fun life, whatever you want you have and do, but at the end a very difficult death, you get a bad and painful illness, staying on death bed for many months, and suffering a hard death at the end.


B. Not a fun life, you don't get the things you want, many difficulties, disappointments, but at the end you have an easy and quick death.

 

[JustGeorge]

I hope to die a prolonged death, so I can contemplate and share what is happening.

My life sucks.

So, I guess I'm just a glutton for punishment?

After two heart attacks having coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes I've come to the conclusion that I'd rather have a shorter quality life than a long dull miserable one.

I'll actually be surprised if I'm able to continue posting here after 5 years from now as I really do expect myself to be dead by then.

Nobody has the A life. It isn't real.
It's always B for everyone.
But death, it varies. So I'd rather have an easy death.

If I could choose, I would opt for a fun and easy life and no death. But since I don't have that choice, I guess I'll have to take whatever I get.

My late husband had a terrific death, though at 62 I felt he died too young. He had a hard but good life and a good death.

 

[ChristineM]

I've already died 4 times and knew nothing about it until told afterwards. That's the sort of death i want.

But I'm greedy, I want a long and easy life too.

 

[Eddi]

Those are both equally undesirable to me so I cannot vote

I chose hard life and easy death. With a hard life, I would be more invested in my spiritual life because hardship and dissatisfaction tend to make many individuals more interested in what is spiritual, divine, eternal, etc. Moreover, if the death is easy, loved ones won’t have to see me suffer during my way out. Further, I find that my spiritual life is better when I am not suffering from some ailment. It’s a win-win from my perspective.

Yes, I think I would choose hard life, easy death as well. Because, I think even if all life, I get all the things I want, the Joy from it, is much much smaller than the suffering from a hard death.

...will I still be having a fun life while dying? I mean im still alive till the moment i die so even if it's a hard death will i still be able to have fun during it since im still alive?

I mean a fun life doesnt mean no suffering...you could have fun in the midst of suffering.

Yes, specially if one believes, soon is going to a better place. After all it will be exiting and joyful to see what happens after death.

O SON OF THE SUPREME! I have made death a messenger of joy to thee. Wherefore dost thou grieve? I made the light to shed on thee its splendor. Why dost thou veil thyself therefrom?


O SON OF SPIRIT! With the joyful tidings of light I hail thee: rejoice! To the court of holiness I summon thee; abide therein that thou mayest live in peace for evermore.
