When you demand of someone that they "learn to cope" with a particular disease in their particular circumstances with their particular beliefs are you not being arrogant in assuming that your impression of their circumstances take precidence over the sufferer's actual experience?

There is pain medicines now, no one asked me if my pain was to much to cope wit, istead everyone fought for me, and I passed the terminal state(no it was not cancer), and have lived 4 years past when I should have been dead, I would not change anything, I have my family and think og them when I say that my opinion is that to seek death is selfish, yes it would stop your sufferring, but would also cause everyone who loves you more pain in the long run, what if 2 weeks after you take your own life, they find a cure for your disease? how is it that I am arrogant? that I would rather live with my pain, knowing it might be the last day i have with my children? or is it that I belive that taking your own life is worse than takin someone elses? or that the person who helps you is in my opinion a murderer? am I a bad person because I think everyone should enjoy the life they are given for better or worse? and if I die then it will be with dignity because i fought till the end, my Grandpa also had terminal cancer. He fought it till the end of his days, 6 years past his 6 month term, and those were the best memories I have of him, so it is not out of selfishness I feel like I do, it is out of pity for those who have to accept that the person took their own life
