Anyway the thing about them that really bugs me is when they say the person died peacefully, from cancer, heart attack, whatever. Most the times the body is struggling to go on or the person is fighting their body to trying to keep going. And the death process started long before the moment the person died. My rant for the day.

can check out of this world anytime that we
would like; but then I think to myself, "Am
I in this world only for myself." Can
the process of suicide be peaceful? Yes,
I believe it could be if one knows that
ones pain will not end (eg. terminal cancer,
AIDS, and perhaps unrelenting clinical
depression).
