What is a good death?
The kind that pisses everyone else off.

So, you made this thread to be a faggot?
being stung by some exotic bug in the middle of Germany
>>887262
In my own bed, with a belly full of wine and a maiden's mouth around my cock, at the age of eighty
In service to a cause greater than yourself, be that god, country or honour.
Knowing you were part of something grander than this flesh and these bones. Is that not what all true men long for? Before the age of relativism and individualism.

There is no such thing as a good death, only a not shameful death.
Painless one with a smile on your lips.
Any other alternative is valuing what happened as a consequence of the events killing you, not your death itself, example: The firemen entering Chernobyl.

It is kind of sad that this kind of hedonism became so popular.
A death that grants you passage in Valhalla
So a duel to the death

Basically this
One that is witnessed

Even from a gif like this, you can see how good MM:FR's cinematography is. Damn, such an amazing film.
Doing a suicide when you notice you're slowly becoming an old, useless man
>>887262
One that is painless and quick

I mean, this is the right answer, isn't it?
One you can live with.

To die, in the streets of London/Berlin, surrounded by 4 dead mudslimes in the inevitable European Holy War
At an age where you're likely to die of natural causes, charging into battle with a sword in each hand, slaughtering opponents, and dying a glorious death in battle to get into Valhalla.
Basically dying in the Battle of Bråvalla.

The only good death is a dead death.

"We are born into this time and must bravely follow the path to the destined end. There is no other way. Our duty is to hold on to the lost position, without hope, without rescue, like that Roman soldier whose bones were found in front of a door in Pompeii, who, during the eruption of Vesuvius, died at his post because they forgot to relieve him. That is greatness. That is what it means to be a thoroughbred. The honorable end is the one thing that can not be taken from a man."
-Oswald Spengler, Man and Technics: A Contribution to a Philosophy of Life
Leaving something behind. Anything.

I don't really care.

Dying for your country in a battlefield.
Being martyred through a horrible torturous death.
Dying of old age with your friends and family beside your deathbed.
There's so many good ways to die.
Anyways this dude had it good.

This, pretty much. A heroic sacrifice in support of something greater than yourself.
What does it matter? Death is death.
a death on your own terms, whatever they may be
Crucifixion.
A death where you die on your own terms for a cause greater than your own, making sure you have something to leave behind to carry your legacy.
>>887262
>What is a good death?
Pic related.
> Death, be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.
Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell,
And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well
And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?
One short sleep past, we wake eternally
And death shall be no more; Death, thou shalt die.
On this day; death was dethroned.
>>887262
Overdose
One on your terms
One where you will be remembered
Tackling a terrorist (at age 80) seems like the best death.
Ideally in the next 50 years they'll solve mortality or at the very least expand life by several hundred years.

Aye, and wasn't it from one of his own jokes as well?

Calling in an airstrike on yourself to take some mudmen with you.

Sounds familair.
Maybe we're thinking of two different people and ancient greeks just had a really good sense of humor.

It's the same guy.
How would your favorite philosopher respond?

> In the second account, he was watching a donkey eat some figs and cried out: "Now give the donkey a drink of pure wine to wash down the figs", whereupon he died in a fit of laughter.
Looks like both.
>>890830
>became so popular.
Agreed. 2124 BCE was a terrible year for traditional values.
A quiet passing no legacy just a quiet one you asked for a good death not a grand one
Guns blazing, the last of your kind, fighting a desperate battle, not for your own survival but for the principles that you exemplified in life: strength, courage, honor, patriotism, and manhood.
>dying on battlefield
>missing the results of your struggle
I'll take survival on battlefield over it thank you. Anyway, any kind of death where you don't know you're going through the process of dying is good. (So for example drowning is out of the question.)
Old age surrounded by friends where everyone is happy and dies at the same time by just vanishing into nothing painlessly.
