I look forward to being dead, but not the act of dying itself.

That being said, I have alot of experience with it, and in general it goes by pretty fast, even if it doesn't seem like
it at the time.

I do not want a long, prolonged death/sickness though, but luckily live in a state where that is not required.

Lack of oxygen is not a bad way to go at all, but if you are not underwater (and not panicking in that state even), your body will naturally fight against it, breathing faster and faster, until you finally pass out. Not fun, but again, doesn't last that long.

The point of living, for me, it to enjoy yourself and help others do the same, as much as possible along the way.

Checking out early if you are terminally ill, or can't enjoy yourself, help others do the same etc, seems logical to me,
and always has.

If you can make life a bit better, prevent suffering or balance it with happiness, then you should do so as long as possible.

There is absolutely no point in being afraid of actually being dead though, it will happen, and the time between now and then will be gone in an instant for everyone, just like the time between when you were 5 years old and now, has also happened instantly.

So don't focus on fear, focus on fun, don't worry about what will happen, try and make what is happening as great as possible. Don't take from others and hoard everything you can, share what you have, and create as much joy as possible.

That is at least how I see things.
