>>22828751>where did that fucker go?Your friend went to the exact same place that you go every day, over and over. Let me explain:
We're all in a constant state of recycling. It isn't just the cells of your body that are perpetually dying and renewed, it's the energy that powers your thoughts, feelings, emotions, memories. Everything in your brain is powered by glucose. That glucose comes from a meal you had a few hours ago, up to a few weeks ago if you're tapping in to the stored reserves in your liver and muscles. Everything that is YOU is a series of electrical signals and chemical processes, neurotransmitter release and reuptake. It's a very intensive process and when that energy flashes through your brain, it eventually disippates in the form of heat. Whatever powered your thoughts that minute, for those few seconds, for now - while you read this - while leave your head in the form of heat. It will rise up through heat transfer in to the environment around you and become something else.
The heat, for example, will increase the kinetic energy of the molecules around your head, whether your head is exposed to air or exposed to water. I won't make this too complicated, but that energy will travel forever, changing and recycling itself in to new things.
So, what was you yesterday is today part of something, or perhaps even someone, else. What was a plant, a peanut, a block of cheese, a cow, yesterday, is you today. Is your thoughts now. The rest of you is just meat, built from the carbon of whatever your lifelong diet happens to be. Most Americans are - and this is not a joke - majority corn-syrup derived. Your friends personality is gone, because that was a series of pathways carved out in to a hunk of meat via personal experience. Everything else that made up who your friend was is and will continue to roam the universe in one form or another, as it always has, since the beginning. Energy does not die. We're all connected. We are the universe.
