Better prepare for death

Whatever your lifestyle, no matter how healthy you are, you will not live forever. It is not even likely that you will reach a modest 200 years, even if, as of now, you are as rich and as young as Mark Zuckerberg.

So you had better be prepared for the inevitable.

We all hope for a comfortable death, dying in our sleep and just not waking up in the morning. Well, if you read reports online, it doesn’t really seem to happen very often.

A large number of those who die suddenly while in bed at the time of their death seem to die from strokes.

Strokes are quiet, but is the person who experiences one in a peaceful state of mind?

That is by no means guaranteed. It is just that a person experiencing a severe stroke cannot communicate. The person may be in extreme discomfort and pain, but because they are brain-damaged and unable to speak, those around them just do not know.

If I had a choice, I would not want to have a stroke. I would even prefer cancer. At least with cancer, I can request morphine.
