Book: Men like gods

All men are mortal. Many died the death that he will die: in a strange and unusual situation, lost in a dark cave, planted on a desert island, lost in the Australian Bush, imprisoned and left there to die. Good to die without serious suffering, without insults! He thought about the countless number of people crucified in Ancient Rome, how they were, soldiers of Spartacus crucified along the Appian way, eight thousand or ten? He remembered the Negroes, suspended by chains and left to die of hunger, an endless variety of such deaths. All this struck his imagination, but in my mind they are worse than reality... a Little more suffering, a little less God don't waste in vain unnecessary suffering. Cross, wheel, electric chair or bed in the hospital - are one: the man is dead, and it's gone.
