Sometimes I think about how I'd like to die. So many angles one may consider. I don't see death as a negative, or an end. I see it more as part of living a wonderful life.

Die in private or in the public eye? Probably private. Ive always been a private person.

Do I want it to make a big change and inevitably have controversy over my death? (biggest example of that type of death would be jesus) Oddly enough I don't think I care if my death will make a big splash or even be noticed (..well hopefully my loved ones will notice

)

Violent or peaceful? I have a minor theory that one is most alive right before death. So fighting for one's life against a large predatory cat would be the most "livingful" moment before one dies. But then again I love the idea of going like some monks go, suicide with major style. They basically stop their hearts and die because they willed it so, talk about will power!

A sub category of private would be do I want any loved ones around? I do and I don't. I wouldn't want to cause grief, but I'd want my last moments to be filled with love.

Die doing something I love? Or in a sick bed when I'm really old? This one is a tough one, and one I'm glad I don't actually have to decide! I just don't know if I want watch/feel myslef grow old and feeble (and I'm talkin 70+ here, not like 40 or something

)

Recorded in history? This could be anything from being mentioned as part of a death toll in a war to being an assasinated president. I don't really care, if it helps change for the better then that would be good but I really don't care about any fame my corpse would receive.

As for what to do with my remains, I don't care too much. Ill be dead and see no attatchment to my physical body to my soul. But if I had a choice, I'd want to be cremated. I have this fear that I will still be able to feel my body getting burned when I'm dead, but then again if that happens I'd rather have a relatively fast destruction from fire than a slow one burried in a coffin. After cremation if any monument is to be had, I'd want to be mixed with very rich fertilizer and a tree planted in me.

So how would you like to die? And can anyone think of any new angles?
