You think you're the only one who understands where he's coming from? Just because you understand it doesn't mean you have to believe in it, or that you have to give into it.

Being able to live a normal life like that, enjoying the stupid, simple things like laughing with a friend in class and zoning out during class then screaming when you didn't take notes and there's a quiz the next day.. that kind of peace would be a beautiful thing. But if you give up who you are, you lose everyone you've ever cared about anyway. You lose them, you lose yourself, and you disrespect their memory by forgetting them. You'd forget the good along with all of the bad. Most of us have been sick and tired of everything even before we died. But when it comes down to it, giving up is no good, okay?
