For me, its an immensely hard subject to talk about. And I never think of it much, since it usually just causes me grief to think about it. Life isn't a video game, I tell myself and I try to apperciate the greatest joys of it but the shadow of death always hangs around. Breaching the void of conciousness is a grim matter for me. It never is a pleasent thought-- to know that there is no going back after that. That your mind will lose all tangible binding with the world and knowledge we know as it is. And yet all around it, life goes on. And yet all your acomplishements can fade away, only become a distant memory. You have to wonder how great of an impact you have left on this Earth and then realize that it is cut short by death. And simply, leaving everything behind is the greatest fear. And I don't know what point I'm trying to make, except that I don't want to think about it. I'm thirteen and the thought of a death at any time. I could be dead tommorow or right after I finish this post, who knows? And I really wonder if I will die a happy man, or if I will even realize it at all. The world beyond is a mystery, and I really applaud the intention. Only the dead should truly now and yet we don't even know if they have a tangible
presence anywhere, anymore. It's frightening. I try my best to think of the afterlife as a pleasent experience. But to lose all feeling and conciousness...to lose all the accquired knowledge and memories...
