What is living? Are we alive because our hearts beat or because we see the niceties, the magic of life? How can one live the life they want? What makes it all worth it? Is it worth living if there’s nothing to live for? What is there to live for? Should we live to avoid death? Is death the worst thing that can happen? Is it always a bad thing? Should we hasten death by doing what we want to in life? Colonel Freeleigh brings on his own death by straining his heart in excitement, was the excitement worth it? Which is better, an unhappy life or a happy death? Should people leave the world to make themselves happier, or stay to keep their friends and family happy? Is dying for your own happiness selfish? The Colonel left the young boys without their time machine, his stories from the past. Was his dying selfish? Should he have left the boys without the time machine? Is living for happiness more important than others’ happiness?

I don't know the context that the colonel died and what was classified as "excitement", but it seems that it wasn't so selfish unless the childern were his sons.
Wow that was a lot of thought-provoking questions! I think that there are no easy answers to most of your questions, but to answer a couple: It's always worth living, and if you don't have something to live for than your purpose in life is to find something. What makes life worth it is different for each person, but in general, it's the rare experiences and relationships that blow your mind that make all the dull moments worth living.
