Book III, Chap IV

So why is drowning always the illustration for dying? It's not like anyone ever drowned, came back and said, "Hey, you know what, you should totally use that analogy the next time you feel you're dying..." Not that I'm knocking that, it's just weird that drowning is always used.

Is it because with wave after wave of crushing blows that we wish for death?
And do we actually wish for death or do we resign ourselves to it because we have lost hope in the sea rescue?
