Serious Death is Selective

[Guest2]

Seeing people live after 50+ stab wounds, being bisected by a train and being fine after being shot in the head or chest multiple times. Or at least they survive and suffer in hospital.

On the other hand, people die astronomically more from shit like slipping slightly and hitting their head, killing them instantly. Breaking one's neck is cripplingly easy as it only requires a misplaced fall.

Not really sure what I wanted to achieve with this thread but I was just thinking about death and the simplicity of it ending.

It only seems that way. When someone dies from something mundane (slipping, tripping, etc) it makes headlines because of how rare it is to die from it even though it's a common thing. On the other hand, SURVIVING something so common happens all the time so you won't hear about it.
This is reversible as well. Dying from a train or stab wounds is obvious, not news worthy. Surviving it though is huge news because it never happens.
This makes these opposites seem really common, when it fact both rarely ever happen.

I meant in the context of how easy it is yet how hard it is to die. I know 2 different family members who have died because of hitting their head (maybe we just have slippy floors idk) but people can potentially survive all this other shit. I understand the point about the media distortion: it really does permeate into every depth of politics and humanity.

That's the main reason not to kill yourself. You never know what could happen; even a shotgun shot could deviate a bit in the last second.

Death and life game is just lame. I don't care about it for some time.
