Because dying matters



[...] I am a man of vehement disposition, with violent enthusiasms, and extreme immoderation in all my passions.
[...] Over the last few days, I have been able to see my life as from a great altitude, as a sort of landscape, and with a deepening sense of the connection of all its parts.
[...] I feel a sudden clear focus and perspective. There is no time for anything inessential.
[...] When people die, they cannot be replaced. They leave holes that cannot be filled, for it is the fate — the genetic and neural fate — of every human being to be a unique individual, to find his own path, to live his own life, to die his own death.
[...] Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and adventure.
