Looks like people die because they choose to


Anita Moorjani was completely riddled with cancer after a long struggle. The cancer won. She was brought to the hospital dying and doctors said that basically that was it for her. Then she went out of her body and looked around and saw that she could just go back. It was that simple. So she came back into her body and it was free of cancer.

But would she have come back if she were single and lonely, or if she didn't love her husband? Would she have come back if she felt that her husband didn't love her, that she was fat, ugly, undesirable? If she hated her other family members? Perhaps it only worked for her because she had very compelling reasons to want to come back?

 Maybe people only die because they are unhappy. Or because they feel like the old body is trashed and they just want a new shiny one.  Especially if they have to work so hard to keep off the fat, the wrinkles, and the body starts having various aches and pains, which only get worse. Or maybe they feel that they are not important, just tiny cogs in a huge machine, and have no power over anything. Maybe they simply don't want to live without love and romance. Or maybe they simply feel bored with everything. What if everyone who dies makes a decision to do so? You might say, no way, that little old lady in her wheel chair hangs on to life like a tick to a dog's ear. She appears to, but perhaps deep down she keeps questioning if she should, and the should not is winning, but she wouldn't admit it to anyone. Most people believe that committing a suicide is wrong, especially over something silly, so they do it in slow, subtle ways, by getting sick or getting old.
