Now you're arguing in context, and making it clear which interpretation you're arguing against. Hence, I mostly agree with what you're saying.
Much of life is dross. I struggle endlessly against asthma and the side-effects of the medication that enables me to breathe. Even that days that have good things in them (of which there are fortunately many) are dulled by the tiredness/pain/wheeziness/voice loss.
Life has no point to it. I mean that in an abstract, scientific, evolutionary sense. Life only exists to create more life -and even that isn't a purpose, it's simply a result of that fact that reproduction usually passes on the ability to reproduce.
However, from a personal angle, I have some hours and minutes that I want to fill as much as possible. Time spent with my granddaughter is precious and I would not miss any time that I can spend dancing.
When I am no longer able to dance and can no longer recognise my granddaughter, please put me out of my misery and shoot me.
I'm a strong believer in right to die legislation.
