Dieing with out reason

I was driveing today when I passed by a wounded rabbit. It was barly moving anf was on the verge of death. I wanted to help it but I kept going. I felt so bad for it I wanted to go take it to a vet but I was just too lazy to go do it.I am scum. then That got me to thinking about life and death and how that rabbit just was on that road dieing. It was just road kill it's death was for nothing.It was not killed for a propose like food or cloth it was just there dieing for no reason.

I believe death should have a reason it should not be in vain. like dieing for a rebellion, or to save someone, or just dieing of old age so your children can grow and take over your family name. death is needed for life but its should not be given out for no reason so I have some questions.

would you have gone and try and save that rabbit?
and
what is your position on dieing in vain and on death it's self?

forgive me if this makes no sense I just felt like shareing my thoughts and feeling since I havn't posted a topic in a while.
thank you for reading these words of a fool.

Everything has to die. When you're born, you die. It's the end of story. You could call it bad luck that it had to go early. People who's never smoke get cancer and die. Trees can get sick and die. Everything, including this universe, will at some point in die.

You could say I'm emotionless, but it's all the same to me. Whether people, animals or anything else dies. That's just it. Death. Nothing more, nothing less. Perhaps some good person would try and save it, but to me, I wouldn't. I save it, so that it'll die later? No, if it was going to die, then let it. I really doubt that you could've saved it anyways. If it was like you said, I would've given it maybe another few minutes. Doubt that it's enough time for you to bring it to a vet. And even if you did manage that, I doubt the vet could've saved it anyways.

Many people say everything happens for a reason.
For instance, you say the rabbited died in vein. However, its very demise has triggered a series of thoughts in your mind, and could have made a very important impact on your life because of it.

I don't think like that.
Everything happens because that's the way to goes... shit just keeps happening.
Every action has an outcome. I do not believe that outcome is set to happen, or supposed to happen... it's just one of the many possibilities. If it didn't happen, something else would.

I agree though, everyone should have a action movie death. Guns blazing, yelling out with energy, music in the background.... that would be great if possible.
On the other hand, if everyone did die with meaning: then it would become the new normal and therefor meaningless. So you could look at it in more of a view of- we need things to just die for no reason, in order to make dying 'with' reason better.

That is worded rather confusingly and overall a very watered down view... but I only hope you know what I'm getting at.


As for the rabbit, I would not have stopped. A shame for it's ended existence, but it simply cannot be helped more often than it can.

I have no opinion towards my time's end. Im an optimistic person.
Death? So be it let it come to me. If not then wait for me a few mor years, or decades perchance.

As for the rabbit. I too would not have stopped to save my life. Sure I'll be bothered by the rabbit for a few minutes. But I'd just think to myself that someone else did something to it.

Like OP, I saw a cat by the side of the road, its head crushed in half by what I assume is a car. One of its eyeball only connected through the optic nerve, which is stretched a foot away. I also noticed that the brain is somehow miraculously intact, but half the skull is missing. I'm not a vet, nor a doctor at that, but know it can still be saved. Then I saw a security guard from a nearby building, got his shotgun, and crushed what remain of the cat's head with the butt of the gun. He then shoved it away to a nearby bush then returned to his station.

I could have stopped the guard, but I live in Manila, a place where you can't decipher a vet office from a barber store. Even if a keep it, I don't have the capacity to save it.

But you know, that cat died with a purpose. And it was to show me that I cannot save everyone, that I am human and there are things that i cannot do.

You see, everything happens for a reason, and not everything of that happens to be good. Rest in peace, cat.

No reason to worry so much. I'd bet that if you did manage to save it, it would just be released and get eaten by a hawk or something. Basically, worrying about death too much will interfere with your ability to live your life.

Sometimes, I wonder the reason behind the kidnapping, raping and murder of an 8 year old, but alas, the answer always eludes me. Perhaps humanity is painfully aware of its own existance, caught up in this cosmic joke, trying to reason over why must we die.

Don't get me wrong, I don't hate life, but it can be incredibly cruel at times.

I apologize if the post sounded too obnoxious.

As for the animal, I would've helped it, I always wanted a pet rabbit.

You're just assuming that rabbit died in vain. Maybe it was old, had lots of bunny sex and little bunny offspring.

In all seriousness though, you can't really tell whose persons life was vain and whose wasn't. It's the individual's who is dieing/who died decision on whether or not their life was in vein.

I once killed a rabbit driving a normal speed down a country road. One moment I'm going 120 25 as required by law, and the next I hit an obviously suicidal rabbit (or so I tell my insurance adjuster), sending it spiraling 50 yards in front of my car right between two corn stalks. Best field goal ever. Oh wait, the point. Right. So, chasing after peter rabbit was a cougar. And no not the kind that hit on you in front of their fugly daughters after a night of binge drinking, but the endangered species. Because I hit the rabbit who had quite the lead on this cougar I was able to help an endangered species survive for another day all the while also preventing the rabbit from being traumatized by McGregor on his next return to do some forced late night pilfering of the farmer's "carrot patch".

Anyway, what I'm actually trying to say is that though you may not see a reason in the death of that rabbit there might have been beneficial effects, unbeknownst to you, caused by that errant motorist.

What the guard did is called 'coup de grace'. I Hardly find it likely that a cat smeared to the road, with half of it's skull missing can be saved. It's a much more human act to end it's life at that point, to ease it's suffering.

I wouldn't have tried to save a rabbit on the verge of death. A human, yes. But not a rabbit

As for death itself, I don't feel that it comes with a purpose. Not everything has to mean something.

I wouldn't have saved the rabbit the just the result of several events not much you can do about it.
Death is a part of existence you just have to find a way to accept it but dying without purpose would truly suck. I hope I will have achieved something by the time I carck it.

I think its not about how u die because everything u see will die. So its more about what u did with the life and hand u were given. If u go through life being greedy and uncareing its a waste. But if u help even one person then ur death would not be a waste. And u did not do the wrong thing with the rabbit because u feel bad about and even if u did not realize it u knew even if u had taken it to a vet it would not have made a differance.

I sometimes feel uncertain about death but I always shake it off and try to live my life to its fullest. Im stil alive so why worry? As for the rabbit and dieing in vain I personally believe theres no such thing. If your time is up, so be it.
The same goes for the rabbit. Even if it did die without a purpose (which would contradict my belief), it just suffices for me to say that its time has come.

I have seen a few animals hit by cars while I have been driving, most of the time they are birds. Whenever I see it happen I pull over right away and use my shirt or whatever I can find to carry it to the side of the road or into the woods. Maybe I am just a wuss, but if I die in the middle of the road I hope people don't run over me.

To be honest it depends on how I felt that day. The concept of death is widely misconstrued in my mind. I fell that if something is going to die and is dieing now then why save it. The fact is that if you would have saved that rabbit it would have went on to live another day, but who's to say it wouldn't die the next day. What im trying to say is that it was going to die anyway. So whats the difference between today and ten years later. That's not to say the same if it were a human. Humans are intelligent beings and do not deserve to die they deserve to live on. The rabbit probably had no idea it was even dieing. My main thought on life and death is survival of the fittest. So that's my outlook on that particular story.

Oh and don't quote me say something like what if it was a family member dieing or something, because of course I would save my own family.

That guard must of had nerves of steel, cause i definitely don't think i could just walk up to the dying creature and kill it while it still looked alive with half it's parts missing, and than put it aside.

life and death are opposing spokes in the same wheel one cannot be without the other.
i hate to sound like a pessimist but, Life there really is no reason for it, and if this is wrong the reason must be found after the fact. i can understand you feeling guilty about it. but you really shouldnt worry about it that rabbit will serve a purpose even in death... if you have a rodent problem in your house, do you just leave them be? of course not how is that any diffrent than your current plight?
