Philosophy of Death says people strive to live/survive because they want to choose their way of dying.
We do not wanna die in accidents.
We do not wanna die in pain.
At the end, actually we only want to die in peace.
But I always thought, actually people just do not want to die.
In the movie Choke, there says:
"I admire addicts. In a world where everybody is waiting for some blind, random disaster or some sudden disease, the addict has the comfort of knowing what will most likely wait for him down the road. He's taken some control over his ultimate fate, and his addiction keeps the cause of his death from being a total surprise....A good addiction takes the guesswork out of death. There is such a thing as planning your getaway."
