All will partake from my body. All will use my atoms for their purpose and needs. As I am connected to all, all is connected to me. I really am just a receptacle for these atoms to gather for a while.
Some will say that is a meaningless life or a life of no purpose; But what higher purpose for the physical essence of me than to be part of all and to support all?
My life's meaning is simple to me. I gather knowledge and wisdom and I disseminate knowledge and wisdom. I support others and I am supported by others. I take care of all I can in such a short time. All mankind is my family and my charge. Any abilities or power I have is used to help others. How could my life have more meaning?
Pain when dying is never pleasant, I suppose. But pain is not something you can really exclude from your life. So I accept it.
Dottore, your Father mastered his fate with great effort. That is a reflection of his understanding of life. I salute him.
I alone am master of my fate. I would not have it any other way.

So where do you live?
What if I am currently in need of your "atoms" now? You know, just because I can. And I am planning a trip to Normandy to see where those of my Grandfather's generation gave their "atoms," so maybe we could kill two birds with one stone?
"Kill" being a relative term, it would be nothing for you to give your life and possessions to me and mine?
I'm thinking Hitler would have loved to have subjugated you.... oh wait, we in the US ruined that for you.... so sorry.
And to be clear, no one has mastered their own fate. Simply because no one knows.
