Chapter 254:
at 21:36
Someone asked me on my views towards euthanasia today.
I thought of d (tho the issue is hugely irrelevant), & I choked. I replied that it's fine because the family, who loves the person, should be able to be given the right to say yes/no.
& all I thought about was how one would be unhappy, being trapped in a shell that just wouldn't move & that a person who's pro-active and spontaneous in living would literally rather die than be in such a state.
& I remembered that I had some thoughts on euthanasia a few months ago. Rummaged through tumblr & found this:
& now I know why euthanasia should not be legalised.
How about you didn’t mean to die?
How about it was a wrong decision which you realise 1 second before?
How about the mere reason - you wanted to live.
.
What differing viewpoints. And both came from me.
Surprising hur.
(Goes to show how controversial this issue is since I can't even have a consistent view myself)
And the thing is, I'm not being contradicting 'cause the reasons cited was so different.
& that's how scary human is.
We presume we are doing what is best for someone when in fact, are we even privy to the deepest thoughts one has?
.
I wanted to tell my friend about d after answering this question.
& I was kinda glad 'cause it would be the first uni soul to know.
'cause I never seem to be able to have the courage to say it, or the courage to ruin an atmosphere.
I was determined tt it's time, & then the moment passed.
