Deadly Parties.

That is what I dream of.
Just imagine: at the end of your life, instead of seeing sad faces, you pull up to a "hospital" that is actually a massive nightclub.
And what would this imply for the practice of euthanasia if it were clear that, after death, we merely transition into the *next* life?
The idea that death is nothing to be feared but rather just the "exam" that follows it would be taken seriously.
You really have to visualize this. You are dropped off by your loved ones, dressed to the nines. They are free to leave immediately; they don't have to join the party just yet.
You are met by trained staff who escort you to a crowd of kindred spirits. Everyone is celebrating, recounting the stories of their lives to one another.
They are, so to speak, preparing for the exam checking to see if they did everything right, and ensuring they don't get saddled with too many difficult new challenges for their next life.
Meanwhile, you witness scenes of people getting absolutely blasted on various custom-engineered drugs. Someone shouts from their death-chair, "Hey! Eddy made it!" and amidst the blaring music, the entire room roars in unison, cheering on the technical staff as they immediately initiate the cremation process.
It is crucial to mention, however, that this party is *not* intended for those seeking suicide.
With this newfound knowledge, attempting to *escape* a situation offers no benefit whatsoever.
It merely ensures that the challenge will be twice as difficult in the next life.
We are all just living out a joke. The only problem arises when we attempt to prolong that joke either through resuscitation or other life-extending interventions.
It is a joke that understandably is extremely difficult to grasp. My own laughter is certainly still somewhat restrained. Yet, I am slowly catching on; I am beginning to realize...
To realize the colossal scale of the reality we inhabit. To realize that even the toughest challenges are simply stories stories we are meant to live through as fully and authentically as possible.
For we have earned everything that happens to us and even the very bodies we inhabit.
That is why I suspect it will take another hundred years before anyone here is truly willing to understand this.
For, as I see it, people would rather face a painful, drawn-out death than confront their duties and deeds.
The rules of suicide are pretty simple....
If you hurt someone else and will free your mind, everything will be double down.
If you hurt yourself or got hurt from someone else and free your mind, you free to go.
As long, you are not played a victim role and used it to hurt someone else, you're free to go.
If you got sick because of the plan and you stuck in a lesson, there are no possibilities to do suicide.
Belief me i tried it view times, no way, when you in a lesson, then you have to follow, no matter what.
