Dying to do that thing you love.

I have never understood it when people say “at least he died doing what he loved”……….What?........I would think, if you were doing the thing you love, dying would be the very last fuckin thing you would want to do! I can see the setting now, you live for rock climbing, you have just climbed a huge cliff in the most picturesque of places, you are bathing in your accomplishment whilst being overwhelmed by your surroundings, and you think to yourself, only death could complete this experience now!
If you were able to choose what you were doing when you die, surely you would want to die doing something you fucking hate, who hasn’t wished for death at some time or another, be it being stuck in traffic or being severely hung over.
I hope that when I die, people will say “at least he died doing something he fucking hate”
I don’t want my last words to be “Isn’t this great, I wish I could stay like this for eh…….” I want to die with a sigh of relief, thinking “thank fuck for that”

Also if a rock climber dies when out on a climb, and people say “at least he died doing what he loved” technically that’s not true, technically he didn’t died climbing the cliff, he died falling down it. So unless ‘the thing he loved’ was developing fatal head trauma as a result of falling off shit, he wouldn’t have died doing the thing he loved!
