Do you want to die while you are doing something that you love?

[milestogo]

Really? In the first place, I don't want to die. In the second place I'd rather die doing something that I absolutely hate so I it would just be OVER.

I am not sure why people think "he was doing exactly what he wanted to be doing" is a comforting thing to say.

[Eliot Rosewater]

1. Those soldiers dont go into the military assuming they very well might die.

Otherwise most would never join.

Also, trump did not ask how to humanely talk to anyone let alone a black woman, not in 2 million years.

[Ilsa]

8. Especially such a young woman, with

two little kids, and pregnant, and not having had the experiences of a 50+ year old general, who said that condolences of the president don't matter.*

* Sure, presidential condolences didn't matter to him, especially from a prez he didn't like, especially when he knew most of the brass already knew of his family's loss, especially when his personality is not the same as a twenty-something young pregnant widow with two kids.

2. well, I love to sleep....

[Adsos Letter]

28. My first thought as well.

[Lebam in LA]

3. I just want to wake up dead when my time arrives

[Angry Dragon]

4. Dying doing something you love means you are going to heaven

doing something you hate and dying means you are going to hell
Dying while doing nothing means you have no place to go

IT IS WRITTEN

[Aristus]

5. Boy, DO I!...

[Va Lefty]

6. When my time comes, quick and as painless as possible

I've had several friends and family die lingering deaths. Not for me.

[MoonRiver]

7. So I have to die while I'm quilting? Bummer...

[Vinca]

9. I'm going out buying and selling antiques.

It's a dangerous business.

[MoonRiver]

11. Sucks, but you gotta do what you gotta do,

whatever that means.

[Purveyor]

10. Yes. nt

[AngryAmish]

12. Elvis died doing what he loved.

[milestogo]

18. Doing drugs, sitting on the toilet?

[AngryAmish]

25. Only if we all were so lucky.

[Thor_MN]

13. SomeTHING? No.

[Corgigal]

14. Now, the loved doing this ?

What? Who in their minds wants to walk in the middle of Niger to talk to tribal war lords?

I bed they rather be in bed with a loved one, but that's just me.

[Kablooie]

15. I'd be as embarrassed as hell if I died doing something I love.

[kerry-is-my-prez]

16. No. While I'm sleeping. After a day I did something I love....

[shanti]

17. Yeah, sleeping. n/t

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

19. I'd like to die quietly in my sleep, like my grandpa,

rather than screaming in terror like his passengers.

[JNelson6563]

20. Yes, sleeping.

[WinkyDink]

21. I don't love anything THAT much!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

22. If you die while doing something you love,

it means that you were happy at that moment.

I would rather be happy at the moment of death, than unhappy.

But that's just me.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

23. I don't think dying with a sucking chest wound is what anyone wants to do.

[treestar]

24. It's not that comforting

The wife I'm sure did not want him to die, period.

I guess they are trying to say he had a good life. But any life that short is hard to accept as having been so great it's OK it's over.

His third child is not even born yet.

It is usually said about people who love to do dangerous things for fun, to try to avert the feeling of uselessness.

[Dave Starsky]

40. That's exactly why it's used.

And it's fucking ridiculous. I hate that.

Yeah, he died doing what he loved: leaving his wife a widow and his kids fatherless. Here's to you, Charlie. Nice job.

[ecstatic]

26. We see now that Kelly is delusional. What works for him probably wouldn't work

for most. On CNN, a gold star mom said that someone said something similar to her and it really really hurt.

[Sunlei]

27. imagine, left behind, wounded with 50 well armed troops looking for you.

[Blue_true]

29. No.

When I am doing something that I love, I am looking solidly at the future.

[MuseRider]

30. I want to die on stage

playing something I love, perhaps the last movement of Beethoven's 9th Symphony or maybe Mahler. Yes I do want to die doing something I love, maybe riding a roller coaster but I would rather be playing in the symphony. Or maybe kissing one of my goats, that is pretty fine right there.

Trump is a stupid asshole a very stupid asshole. He is never appropriate or comforting.

[malaise]

31. Why would you not want to die?

Every living thing dies. That we are all going to die is the one absolute philosophical truth on this planet.
Now how would I like to die - one of two ways - in my sleep or on the operating table out cold from the anesthetic.

I'd rather not die doing something I love but it hardly matters - dead is dead.

[WinkyDink]

33. It's not the dying I fear so much as the hideous decaying.

[appleannie1943]

32. You know when you cross a street or ride in a car that you can die. That does not mean

you want it to happen or that you can expect that it will. If signing up for the military meant that you can expect to die, only people with a death wish would join. As far as I am concerned, saying that to a grieving widow is the equivalent of saying, "He would rather die fighting in another country than be with you and you should be happy for him that he got his wish" When my son drowned if someone had said to me "He knew what he was doing when he walked into that river but I guess it hurts anyway", I would have been ready to gouge their eyes out.

I want to live as long as I can still think and do. I will probably go out kicking and screaming but if I have to die, I hope I go to sleep some night and die in the middle of a good dream.

[LeftInTX]

34. Isn't that how Nelson Rockefeller went?

[miyazaki]

35. Well when you can't breath, nothing else matters. n/t

[SeattleVet]

36. When I go, I would like to be shot - at the age of 103...

by a jealous husband!

[milestogo]

37. Well living in the USA the odds are you'll get shot by somebody

sooner or later.

[3catwoman3]

38. These men may well have loved being in the military.

At the moment they found themselves ambushed, they must have wanted only to be anywhere else, doing anything else. They must have been terrified.

The whole "died while doing something that he loved" has always struck me as very hollow and insensitive, and not in the least comforting.

[Raine]

39. Sure, better then dying doing something I hate

course if given the choice I'd rather not die at all.
