About life and death.

When i was younger, i thought i wanted to live the longest time i could and become very old. It was, probably, the way i feared death.

Today, now that i grew older, that i've been confronted with death, i think differently.

I don't want to become as old as possible, anymore. I try to live the best life i can, with the time that i have left.
Why growing old if i'm not able to be what i've always been anymore, if I become dependant on the others?
I don't think being old, disabled or so sick that there's no more hope is a life i would enjoy.
Life is the most precious thing we have. It must be cherished.
Sometimes, though, you realize that life hangs by a thread. Though you wished to enjoy life more and more, you cannot because the end is coming sooner.
What to do, then? Waiting for death to come and maybe suffer? Or taking action? I'd take action, i think.
Being able to choose your own death may be a luxury, a liberty.
A great pain, as well. It may require help.
Making this choice is deciding when, or at least how to die because you're disabled, because you can't live the way you want.
Living to the fullest, living is the most important. Let's try to do it when it's time.

Then, later...we shall see.
