What happened to dying a good death?

Asked by TaoSan (7106points) June 2nd, 2009

Okay, so, I know it all sounds cheesy. I was sitting here pondering life, and it came to me that the vast majority of humans die either by accident, disease or age.

Now, call me a romantic or whatever, but really, what happened to Bushido? A good and honorable death, preferably in battle for an honorable cause? (since we don’t battle so much anymore I’d accept a crash and burn in a Vegas Black Jack & Hookers competition, or crashing your bike at 180 trying to beat a speed record also has a nice heroic ring to it).

But seriously, what’s your take? Senselessly fading away in a hospital room or on an operating table, or glorious, so your name will echo through history?
