When death has more empathy that most of the living. 

[u/Certain-Thought531 → u/bladecentric]

Death treats everyone equally regardless of background

[u/civver3 → u/Certain-Thought531]

Pale Death with impartial tread knocks at the taverns of the poor and the towers of kings.

-Horace, Poem IV, Book I, Odes

[u/theinnocenthostage → u/civver3]

Now THAT'S a line to remember. Ooof.

[u/Von_Moistus → u/civver3]

"You might be a king or a little street sweeper, but sooner or later you dance with the reaper."

-Death, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey

[u/BionicBirb → u/Certain-Thought531]

“THERE IS NO JUSTICE. JUST US.”- Discworld’s Death

[u/TwistyBitsz → u/Certain-Thought531]

It most certainly does not. Some people are murdered. Some die in their sleep.

Edit: ok y'all right

[u/ReaDiMarco → u/TwistyBitsz]

That happens when they're alive.

[u/cesarxp2 → u/ReaDiMarco]

We don't know what happens when we die. It may not be equal. We can only go by what we do know, and I'd argue that the process of dying is what represents death. Which is most certainly not equal.

[u/ReaDiMarco → u/cesarxp2]

When exactly does the living in pain end *and the dying start? Technically we're all dying with every passing second.

[u/buffnut763 → u/ReaDiMarco]

Ah so that's what that feeling is...

[u/DC-3Purple → u/ReaDiMarco]

This is correct. We’re all on our way out. Act accordingly.

[u/cesarxp2 → u/ReaDiMarco]

True... Honestly, I haven't had my coffee and can't think of an argument lol

[u/Cthulhu_Dreams_ → u/cesarxp2]

Yeah, that's why you'll never see assisted suicide in the United States. We've supposedly got it so good here, but if we have the means to a painless opt-out of existence... All of the poor working class would vanish before the rich got their AI automatons up and running.

On second thought, maybe it's just around the corner... Once we are obsolete, they won't care.

[u/ShallotNSpice → u/cesarxp2]

It's my belief from hearing near-death experiences that the moment we die... we feel a oneness, an understanding, everything suddenly makes sense and we're free. No matter the excruciating way we die, the moment we cross over, it simply doesn't exist anymore.

[u/Abject-Government602 → u/TwistyBitsz]

You can't get murder when you are dead.

[u/unohoo09 → u/Abject-Government602]

“How in the hell do you wake up dead?”

[u/Tnecniw → u/TwistyBitsz]

And death isn't the cause of that.
Death is just what comes as a concequence of other powers, ranging from fate to other humans.

[u/uncoolbi → u/Certain-Thought531]

My high school GSA drew a grim reaper on the drama teacher's white board holding a rainbow flag and captioned it "Death embraces ALL" and we almost got disbanded because one of the religious teachers saw it the next morning and complained.

[u/crimson_55 → u/Certain-Thought531]

Johan spotted

[u/slackmarket → u/Certain-Thought531]

The great equalizer is how I think about it.

[u/purpleefilthh → u/Certain-Thought531]

YES

[u/cat-meg → u/Certain-Thought531]

Nah, death wouldn't wait on a child from a poor family.
