What's your ideal way to die?

>I fear not my death, but the death of my name
Then you fear what is painfully inevitable. Try your best to not let others define who you are and how happy you can be.

>thinking that if people remember your name it will necessarily be synonymous with victory

Witnessing the last star dying out while raising a glass to all that was and the next big adventure.

It's synonymous with some kind of victory at least.

No wonder he lost. Look at that ridiculous battle stance.

Scaring my opponent.

Welcome to Mousevel, House of No Editors.

They way I see it, there's three ways for a man to die.
He can die on his feet.
He can die on his knees.
He can die on his back.

In the first, the man dies in action; he is fighting, he is living, but he dies on his own terms, doing what he wilt.
In the second, the man dies in inaction; he has given up, he has surrendered, he has lost hope and given up his future.
In the third, the man dies in neither action nor inaction; he has grown old and finally succumbed to sickness or age, or he is stabbed through the chest in his sleep. Perhaps he has lived a full life, perhaps he has not, but it is his time, through no choice of his own.

I think most anyone here would want to die on their feet, or if not that, die peacefully on their back. No one wants to die on their knees.

Now, as for -what- I would want to kill me, I'm not quite sure. Besides the usual "dying heroically for a Good Cause or for The Right Thing", a satisfactory alternative would be something like "going on a suicidal voyage which I knew there would be no return to home from, and likely an early death, for the sake of discovery"
