Have you been engulfed in flames before?

I've definitely experienced mental states that were worse than being dead. I don't regret remaining alive because of all the positive experiences I've had afterwards. But if we are talking about extending suffering that's only followed by death, I don't see the point.

Not yet fortunately. All life is some amount of suffering and then you die. I agree I’m probably not correct about how I would feel in the moment.

I’m wondering if you’ve ever felt debilitating acute pain. I had nerve pain in the past to where my leg felt like it was on fire. It was then I understood how people get addicted to pain killers. I was able to address the problem and I’ve been fine for many years, but it hurt more than any pain I’ve ever had - and I have had many from sports.

I guess I just mean to say I love living and I’ll enjoy it to the last drop.

This is probably untrue (but you do you!)

Beginning at some acute level of pain you actually want to detach from the failing body.

Yeah you right
