Death or pain?

Once you get to the end of your chosen path you need to figure out if you want to take a new path or just give up. But giving up is the same as dying. So basically you have to choose between pain or death. Which do you prefer? Constant pain or death? Death sometimes sounds good because it'll end your agonizing pain. But choosing death is the coward's way out and I am anything but a coward. So I will always choose agony, excruciating pain... I will always choose new paths. Even if they're the wrong ones. But I'll never give up. I am strong and independent. And I own up to my choices. Even the wrong ones. Contemplating death is just not an option. I will always fight until my last breath.
