What I want to recommend today is
a thought-provoking
made by best documentary producer - BBC
beautiful documentary
The tile is
How to Die : Simon’s Choice
人生の終わり方：サイモンの選択
如何走完余生：赛蒙的选择
Plot
Diagnosed with a severe motor neuron disease and suddenly sentenced to be in a vegetative state in six months, optimistic and gregarious Simon ponders with his family how to end his excruciating final life. It was a sadly beautiful and cautious BBC film about Simon's desire to die with dignity while he had a choice.
Plots and more
Simon is
a successful business man
he has a family full of love
and has lots of friends
a very lovely social person
But one day all of a sudden
he was told to have 3 years to live
and in only 6 months his motor nerves would all die
not being able to talk
not being able to move
not being anything but a vegetable
and
you can feel the change everyday
that is how fast and severe this disease is
After diagnosis
he was just walking normally a short time ago
then he lost strength to walk very soon
and started needing help
Simon always likes laughing
but even that is becoming difficult to do
After a lot of discussion
Simon decided
he would go to Swiss for assisted death
so even harder
he brought family and friends
having parties
using all his energy to laugh
cherishing every single second
until he used up all the energy
to make everyone remember these happy beautiful days
In the infinite universe
our life
has infinite time before
and still infinite time keeps flowing after
Earth barely counts as dust
little as the life we have
makes one thing and one thing only matters - our time with our loved ones
nothing else means anything
When our loved with us has time about to end
When the time has a limit we set up
I can imagine how hard it is
There's nothing more difficult to say to goodbye
There's nothing more sad than this
I fully teared up
and saw him away
Simon RIP
