It is not fashionable to say that. But I agree with you. A bad life is not worth living, and I hope I die before things go too far wrong. Right now, my life is pretty good, and I have no particular reason to think it will go bad soon (though obviously, something bad could happen at any moment).
Also, people claim that some others need to believe this bullshit, but no one ever proves it. What happens when people stop believing? Do they disappear in a puff of smoke?
That some idiot says he needs something or other, does not mean he really needs it.
