Why is staying alive considered the correct answer

Why is “staying alive” the correct answer?
I feel that the structure of society is also moving on the premise that “treatment is natural” when you become ill.

I don't have any particular regrets in my life; rather, I challenge what I want to do precisely because I think “it doesn't matter when I die,” and I feel that right now is the most fulfilling and enjoyable.
However, when I talk about this idea, people around me often have a mystical face saying, “Do you have any concerns?”

Why is “death” so dark, and is talking about it taboo?

Isn't the logic the opposite

Once you die, you'll be challenged to do what you want to do, and you won't be able to feel the most fulfilling and enjoyable right now.
So don't you want to keep living longer?
Everyone is afraid of death.
In that sense, it's safe to say that death is captured in a dark image.
However, since life is limited, don't you think we should live to the fullest and let our lives shine brightly?
People who have reached the peak of happiness may think that it doesn't matter when they die.
For my part, I'd like to experience that feeling at least once in my lifetime.
(The language has become a bit harsher, but please forgive me)

Please live the life you want

I read it.
You have doubts about why living is the right answer, right? I feel like I can also understand that you think that way. I feel like I can understand very well that people question the logic and way of thinking that living as you said is all right. I accept your feelings from the bottom of my heart.

I think it's wonderful that you think “it doesn't matter when you die” without any regrets in your life, challenge what you want to do, and feel the most fulfilling and enjoyable right now.

Our lives are limited, and time is ticking by. So it's very good to live through the present by firmly facing what you want to do in your own way of life.

Not being afraid of death or not being attached is so amazing. There may be few people who think so. So, on the other hand, the people around you may feel doubts.
There may be times when people around you listen to your thoughts and wonder if you are worried, but I don't think they really care. That's because each person has different ideas, ways of life, values, and outlook on life.

Death is something that always comes, and there will always come a time when we can complete our lives.
At that time, the Buddha and God will guide you, and close people and ancestors who have gone earlier will kindly welcome you. So death is by no means dark, and talking about death is not taboo.

So I think it would be nice if you could continue living with your way of thinking and living. Also, I think there will be changes in the way we think and live as we live from now on. We are changing day by day.

I sincerely pray that you will continue to face your own life firmly and survive as you want, and that you will be able to live through a rich and fulfilling life from the bottom of your heart. And I will support you from the bottom of my heart. We wholeheartedly agree

because we are such a race

Even if there were a type of creature that “wanted death,” of course that species would soon perish.
If both groups that want to live a long time and groups that want to die early occur in space, descendants of groups that want to live a long time should prosper as a result.
In other words, there is a high possibility that our ancestors were “the group that wants to live,” and the “group that wants to live” and “the group that should live” will inevitably become the majority in this society.
In that case, in a democratic society, it will be a law that is in line with the values of the “group that wants to live” and “the group that should live,” which is the majority.
Even with the novel virus, if it is a virus that causes the human host to die, that virus will soon perish.
So, I think a virus that does not cause the host to die even if infected will survive.
So, maybe your way of thinking is right, but it's “not popular.”

don't worry! they're each other! Me too!

 Neco, living is tough, isn't it! Please take care of yourself.
Well, it's your way of life, and I live my life with the same way of thinking as you. You can say it to whoever wants to say it. You just have to go your way. I am the only one who has the right answers.
Having said that, please keep up the challenge. I don't think I'm rooting for you, but I have my life too... The only thing I want you to know is that there are many other people who live with the same way of thinking as you. not a lot, but... Just as you say your life is important, others think their lives are important to them. Please live a life where you can make your own decisions without having to bother spending your energy on things like getting others to understand.
That's all for me.
