Nobody likes to think about it, let alone talk about their end game, which is of course, death.
But it happens, doesn't it? In fact, it is guaranteed.
I think most people would like their end game to be a very peaceful and smooth one, live happily and healthily until 90, then die suddenly and quickly with loved ones around them. But how often does this happen?
More often than not, it's a struggle and then a sad, sometimes lonely passing. For some, at a shockingly young age due to a variety of reasons. For others, at an old age, but with great hardship in the preceding years.
What I find strange is that people seem to be divided into 2 broad categories. Those that embrace life (they may be happily rich looking at their cpf statements or sadly searching dustbins) and continue to see life in perpetuity. And the minority who sadly suddenly and abruptly decide to end their lives, thinking that it will solve all their problems, perhaps even solving the problems of the children they leave behind (which I can't comprehend) and some who think they are god and bizzarely decide to take their children with them too.
But is there another small group of people who look at life and death in a cold and calculating manner, and who actually plan their end game?
What are your thoughts on the end game? Not necessarily yours if you are the superstitious kind.
