Re: Death

The idea of what comes after death (and I will now talk about if as if I have no religious orientation, which will be hard) is really an interesting suject, I'm glad you brought it up. It's scary to think about... and mandkind has always been afraid of the unknown. If you've never been hundreds of feet below water, in the deepest, darkest, most deathly feeling place you will likely feel like any moment you'll just... wake up, or something will happen to get you out of this situation. I wouldn't know. Like going down a rollercoaster for the first time. You just have no way of knowing, and that causes us to feel fear.

I'd like to think there's something left for me after death besides nothingness. But I just have no way of knowing. What does nothing feel like? To me it's the few seconds after I die in a dream where I see a color I can never describe and I feel, or rather, not feel anything--- just numbness. My brain can comb through everything I've experienced in my short life and put me in odd immaginary situations that turn out to be strangely close to how it feels in real life, but since I know nothing of death, my mind draws a blank. There aren't any cards left in my deck. Maybe believing what we want about what happens after death is a way people have tried to comfort themselves since the beginning of creative/religious thinking.

And I hope I don't have to experience what death feels like, or what comes after, for a very long time. Life is fine for now, thank you very much.

On a side note, I'm listening to that piece of music that was reportedly leaked from the TP OST, but was proven fake. Beautiful music, really sets the mood and causes me to actually bother to type about the deepest of all subjects- death. Normally I just stick to pancakes and timeline theories.
