Although most commentators of the East point out that "choosing" death is the way of the warrior, it seems to be a most impracticable way of approaching daily situations or making decisions.
However, it would be advisable, whenever one has a choice, to choose the harder, more difficult path. The reason is simple: difficulty leads to inner growth whereas easiness leads to complacence and stagnancy.
Try it. You'll find yourself taking new challenges regularly and enjoying yourself more than you could have imagined.
As for the path of death, the matter is a bit complicated and needs to be explained properly in a separate post.
