[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my teens through my early 20s I had this close friend. Long story short, when I was breaking up with my long-term boyfriend, my friend sided with the boyfriend (although we were friends first). Maybe because they were both guys, who knows. It was a touchy situation and we lost touch soon after with lots of hurt feelings.

In my late twenties, I was coming home late via Metro and ran into him out of nowhere - he just happened to board the same Metro car right where I was sitting. It was like no time had passed at all. We exchanged numbers and met up soon after. He met my boyfriend (who is now my husband), we caught up on our lives, reminisced about our old friend group and our crazy teenage years, and made peace about what caused us to lose the friendship. It was a great evening and we made plans to meet up again soon.

He died in a freak accident the following month. I am not religious but I think it was meant to be that we got to meet again before he left this earth. [/quote]

Nice for you, but not so nice for your dead friend.  Would have been better for him if you had not met up again and he got to live to old age.[/quote]

How do you know it would have been better for him? Maybe his death prevented mass shooting? Or bombing? Or some other big disaster. [/quote]

You mean the friend was a murderer?  Or that he himself died in a noble cause?

Generally death is considered to be a bad (but inevitable) thing, and people go to great lengths to stay alive.  Maybe this friend was different, though, and is better off dead -- and how nice that God provided this miracle for his friend to connect one more before he met his fate.[/quote]

We don't know that, right. You assume that the friend's death was not good for him, but we truly don't know. What if he would become a child molester? Wasn't it good that he died and many lives were saved? You operate your conclusion on an assumption. 
Considered by whom? Why then there are so many people supporting assisted suicide or commit suicide if the death considered to be that bad? [/quote]

Assisted suicide is personal choice, Committing suicide can be a personal choice or can be a result of mental illness or other distress.

There's no way of know if he would have become a child molester or something really good, like a philanthropist.  But he didn't get a chance - he was killed in a freak accident.  Could be that if he had a choice in the matter, he would have selected a long life instead of a freak accident soon after resolving a friendship issue that was nice for pp [/quote]
