Problem dealing with death as an atheist

Rather concentrate on what is beautiful and magnificent in this life and what we have, while we have it. I have always found that you will eventually be able to deal with whatever comes your way. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bL3GR4iA...re=related

I guess the hardest thing to do for a person in his position is to commit suicide. I mean, how can you do it when you have no arms and no legs?? I think all the ordinary methods (razor-blade, hang yourself, put gas on yourself and light a fire, get on top of a building to throw yourself from there, etc.) all require hands or legs! I guess the only choice is to go to a street hoping that a car would eventually hit you - which is pretty hard, because the drivers would very probably stop the car when they see you! (and you really move slowly, so they have time to see what you're trying to do)

If I had been in his shoes, I might have found out a way to commit suicide finally, and do it. I don't need titles nor fame nor people's appreciation as I need my hands and legs and the freedom I have when I don't need anyone to read a book or to write something or to have a walk, etc. But I guess you see things very differently when you don't have what everybody else is having, and perhaps being taken outside for a walk by someone can be as joyful for one like him as it is for a common man to go to a party or something.
