One Hundred and Fifty

Everyone wants to live, and everyone wants to die.  This is a paradox to those who imagine they must want one or the other, but not both.  It’s always both.

Everyone wants a good death, one that completes a good life.  But most people live meaningless lives that aren’t completed, but merely ended, by equally meaningless deaths.    

Everyone wants to live not because their lives are good, but because they’re meaningless.  They know life is change, so they hope their lives will change for the better.  But as they grow old, they lose hope.

Some then kill themselves, but most don’t.  They choose not to kill themselveswhich is not the same as choosing to livebecause they no longer care whether they live or die.
