Death was something that all of us will face someday regardless of our gender, race, religious beliefs or social status. It is something that cannot be prevented with any amounts of money. It is also something that will come any time without our expectations and sometimes, on the most ridiculous way. So if I were to choose between falling from a plane with no parachute, being stomped by the elephant or being eaten by a shark, I would rather be stomped by elephants.
If I were to die, there are some conditions that I want to be met that will make my death somewhat acceptable not only for me but for those that I will left behind.
The first thing was that I could have my body physically intact as possible so that my family can mourn for me and give me a burial so that my relatives and friends can see me one last time. Being eaten by shark would probably left me with only bones so it's a no and finding my remains on the ocean was near to impossible. Without a body to find, it might also cause for my family and friends to have a false hope that I was still somewhere in the ocean waiting for help and will make them suffer for a longer time which I wont be able to accept. I could have my remains if I die from jumping through the airplane but chances are my body would be squashed like a tomato. It might also made people think that I was a dumb person because I die for jumping on an airplane without a parachute, a death that is completely unavoidable with proper preparations unlike dying from an elephant or a shark which are animals with a will of their own and whos actions we can't comprehend. So the most ideal death I could choose was being stomped by elephants.
Another condition that I want to be met is that my death could help to extend the life of someone else. While I said that I want my body to be intact as much as possible, I also want my insides to be on working condition when I die so that whatever organs that was on good condition can help to save the life of another person and maybe with his new life, the person that I was able to save will also help other people. That way, I could feel that my death was not in vain.
Out of the three ways of dying, my choice might not be able to give me an easy death but it was a death that would be the most normal among all but it gives the opportunity to be able to help people and for my family to mourn so that they can move on.
Thank you and see you at the next post.
