To all of you who are one day destined to die.
I bring great news regarding your final demise.
An individual's death is as unique as the life that preceded it,
but the means by which the body shuts down is always the same process.
In a nutshell, once the brain has determined that there is something fatally wrong,
the brain then shuts down all except the body's most vital life giving functions,
and then focuses on repairing the damage proving life threatening.
Once the brain has determined that there isn't anything it can do
to save the life that is very soon going to be through,
the brain then performs its final and most important function.
It manufactures and remanufactures dopamine, flooding your system.
All feelings of pain or negative emotions are completely alien.
Everyone dies in the highest state of euphoria that they have ever been.
...and by the way, this has been scientifically proven.
So when that time does arrive when you take your last dying breath,
this I guarantee; You're going to Die A 'Fun' Death.
