The document is a plea to God asking that if sacrificing various aspects of the speaker's life such as their eyes, wealth, limbs, etc. could prevent future suffering in the world, to take those things from them now. The speaker offers to give their entire life and body if it means no one else would have to experience poverty, disability, hunger, or other hardships again. They argue that extinguishing their single life could create countless more happy lives and bring lost joy to the world, so they would feel privileged to be "immortally dead."
