You are absolutely wrong about nobody wanting to die and it has nothing to do with the pain to be over, the boredom to end, or the despair to dissipate.

You sound young or too invested in your own life to actually understand the real circumstances for why people would not want to live.

You do realize that not everyone sees life as a gift, right? Some people imagine never being alive in the first place a greater gift.

You mention that if all things are possible to everyone, no one would choose death over life.

Again, you’re wrong. You can’t fathom why someone would opt to no longer exist if all things were possible, but I know people who would opt to chase everything from existence if they had the power.

You just don’t understand it.

I’m really amazed that you honestly think you can speak for everyone when it’s clear you’ve never given other peoples’ outlook anything more than a fleeting thought.

Personally speaking, I’m happy with my life. If I reached my old age and someone gave me the option to live indefinitely or to stop, at some point I’m just going to want to stop.

At some point, I’m going to want to cease to being.
