Agreed. I becomes a certain afforded option with age. When we enter the world, we consume and we are obligated to serve in return.
After a lifetime of service and the body is physically deteriorating, there comes a point where weighing life ahead and misery and pain are tough decisions best left to the elderly.
That being said, it is tragic nevertheless, especially with the recent loss of STEEM's first suicide.
One thing I particularly find interesting about the post includes the loved ones left behind.
