Wise Ways to Die

Are you familiar with the game, “Dumb Ways to Die”? Then, you may also be aware of the song incorporated with it as well. I am quite familiar with the song though, than the game itself. It’s easy to think about with what I think is a repetitive lyric of the song which is its title itself.

On a serious note though, I think the game has something to do with a character dying, in what is considered to be a dumb way. Although the ways may not really kill a person in a real-life scenario, it somehow does in a virtual way. As such, suicidal people might as well have their take on this game and follow some of what they may consider as effective ways to die in real life, although perhaps, dumb.

Suicide cases around the world have definitely risen in number in this decade. Attempts and successful acts have gone viral. There is even a case when a teen committed suicide while recording it in her “My day”, a feature that has been recently updated by Facebook. Another case though was when a suicidal teen made the excuse of going into the bathroom of the guidance counsellor's office and locked herself up, then jumped from its windows. She was declared dead on arrival at the hospital.

As you may be able to notice by now, there are a lot of posts on social networking sites, such as in Facebook and Twitter, that concern much on the mental awareness of everybody. Apparently, most of the individuals who share the posts are those who have signs of being suicidal themselves.

The future generation might as well refer to these days as an era when almost everybody just wants to die but still try hard to encourage one another to live one more day, to have more chances of living and loving life. As a result, most of the people are like zombies, you may see them working, studying, or seemingly living the most of life, but the truth is that they are dead on the inside.

In relation with this, I’ve got an idea. Although, it more of a solution for many. But let’s start with wondering about the most probable reason why people on social media are sharing mental health posts that encourage everyone to avoid attempting suicide when they themselves are suicidal?

Pretense. This might be right or wrong. But, admit it, if you are ever on their shoe and feel like ending your life as what seems like everybody else is doing, you do not want to drown on this thought. As a result, you share those enlightening posts much for yourself than for others. And, by sharing it, you somehow get the impression that you are against the very idea of suicide.

But if you just want to end it all without having to feel guilty about it and without appearing to be dead by doing suicide, there are actually wise ways to die. I am not saying though that those who chose to slit their wrists or hang themselves have opted for the dumb ways to die. Nope, what I am saying though is that there are ways to die that do not necessarily call for the label suicide nor you being called a suicidal individual.

Here are some wise ways to die that you might want to check out.

1.       Join the army.

Yes, you have read that right. You only need to be trained for some time about discipline, following orders, how to handle armaments, and more. After that, you will be assigned to areas where rebels are hiding and get yourself involved in the right there and then.

But, hey. You might also want to give those rebels some kind of a tough fight too. So, instead of presenting yourself to the rebels and getting yourself killed, you should somehow fight them first. But do not make your life a priority as doing so wouldn’t help you with your case. You can actually save your comrade with your life. By then, your death wouldn’t be in vain. You don’t get to be labelled a suicidal too. Perfect.

2.       Be a lawyer.

Just because you are low key suicidal doesn’t mean that you can waste your intelligence away. People might need your excellence, although you may not feel like it. And, yes. You need to sacrifice some years of your life for it.

Once you become a member of the Bar, and you can practice law well enough, you can then protect those who have been deprived of justice. When you do this, you will have a great potential of doing good to the humanity. Just wait until you get a client who has got a pretty competitive opponent. You might as well trigger some issues and conflicts along the way and get yourself murdered as you are representing your client. Clean death for you then.

However, you can also join a fraternity or sorority club at law school and hope that they conduct initiation that is deadly. This way, you do not have to endure a few more years studying law and just be dead. That is awesome too, except that you may not be granted proper burial because your body would be either missing or cremated already without your consent or your family’s. That wouldn’t ever be an ideal death, I guess.

As of the moment, these two are the wise ways to die that I can manage to think of. With these professions, there is almost no way that anybody could connect your death to suicide nor label you as a suicidal person. If you think there are better or wiser ways to die though, just feel free to use the comment section below and share your thoughts.

Live life to the fullest and pretend well. Cheers!
