“such voluntary death must give us peace”- Ryunosuke Akutagawa
“Now even if I die, no one will be so grieved as to do himself bodily harm. No […] I know just how much sadness my death will cause you. Undoubtedly you will weep when you learn the news–apart, of course, from such ornamental sentimentality as you may indulge in–but if you will please try to think of my joy at being liberated completely from the suffering of living and this hateful life itself, I believe that your sorrow will gradually dissolve.â€- Osamu DazaiÂ

If the world is the matrix going to Zion requires you to take the red pill.
The red pill wakens you to the illusions of the world around you, and awakened at war and less likely to find yourself happy.
Ignorance is bliss so you want to take the blue pill, – the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe, even maybe that you are happy.
I don’t think death is hedonism. I think death is nothingness. The lack of awareness. Perhaps to some that is blissful though.
