Life is what separates us; It's fate is what combines us all

The other day, I was watching a movie where the actor and actress try various modes of committing suicide and fail. The protagonists try various methods and experience pain and suffering while failing to take their lives. Those scenes inspired me to the divine revelation that we are all mortal.

We generally are so engrossed in our lives that we tend to forget that sooner or later, it is all going to end. Not that the end is inevitable and most of us know it, but there are very few of us who have actually been able to allow this feeling to sink in our hearts. We all believe that each one of us have a separate life and tend to forget that the fate of it, our death, is the same for every living being. This could lead to a spiritual discussion which is not the actual intent of this article. I did some googling on various ways to die and the one's which are the best, least painful, most inspirational, most painful, worst etc ways to die and was surprised to find lists stretching to 1000s of ways of dying!!! There is a proverb in my mother tongue which says that pray to God that you live a happy life and die easily. We tend to look only at first part of this and fail to heed the second part until the realization of our mortality dawns on us by some life terminating disease or a disastrous accident.

So, after doing various research and going through various polls, here is the list of 5 least painful ones and 5 worst ways to die. Do bear in mind that this list has been combined by the opinions of living people only and none of the opinions of people who have actually experienced death by these means have been considered as they were not available for opinion..!

5 Best ways to die:
a. Die In sleep or Die of old age as it is better known
b. Die of cardiac arrest.
c. Die due to overdose of carbon monoxide
d. Die due to sudden hit of bullet on the head without knowing
e. Lethal injection.

However, its been observed that most people who have led their lives happily and are satisfied die more peacefully than others. So live life happily and hope that you end up dying in one of the above 5 ways.. :P
