tell me you haven’t been around old suffering people without telling me. I literally think your comment is crazy. Like batshit crazy.
Go into a nursing home in the U.S. sometime and walk the halls. Tell me if you think the majority of those people are waking up with something to look forward to? Some of them are sitting in their own shit for hours because the nurses are too short staffed. I’d rather be dead than sit in my own shit for hours while being in chronic pain, and abandoned in a nursing home.
There are other reasons to choose death too of course. But i digress. I’m not in the mood to make an exhaustive list.
If you’re old and in okay-ish health, and have _something_ to look forward to (hobby, seeing grandkids, reading, etc), then it’s a different story.
When I volunteered at a nursing home an attendant complained to me about a guy who wouldn't make the effort to go shit but expected staff to dig it out for him. Why bother choosing to live if you don't find it worth even that much effort.
