I've yet to understand the concept that millions of people dying at once, is far worse than dying alone in your bed, or burning, or drowning.

Why when death happens in mass, does it all of a sudden become so much more important?  Or is it that when millions die, they're just numbers and maybe they're not as important, I'm really not sure, but I personally say if the end is coming, give me a lawn chair, a big fat cigar, and a glass of wine, and let's sit out on the sidewalk and watch it's approach.

You don't understand. It doesn't matter how you die or who you die with... You die alone. It's your own death, your own experience, you can't relay the experience or share in the feelings or emotions. I think that people want to feel comfortable when they pass on, it's traumatizing listening to screams of terror and pain when you yourself are waiting for the same-thing.

Original Message I've yet to understand the concept that millions of people dying at once, is far worse than dying alone in your bed, or burning, or drowning, after all the millions who died, were just as assured of death, even if they just died off one at a time. Their death was inevitable.
