I'd like to die only when I felt like dying.
You know, living and dying rules should be something like you never grow old and allways be healthy and strong. At a very huge age (1000+ years) when you felt ready, you should make a party with your friends, give the last fuck and go for it.
I dont´t believe in God or live after dead, so I face dead as the big END and that really scares me
PS: hope your friend gets better
