>>814025Think about it, anon. Billions of years of existence has come before an organism such as a human has had the intellectual capacity to grasp concepts such as life and death. An unfathomable number of beings have experienced life, and because of them, we are here today. You did not come of nothing, nor will you return to nothing. Even if the earth explodes and all of its matter scatters out into the universe, the same matter that composed you and every organism that has ever been will still exist. We are but complex chemical reactions comprised of this matter, and it matters not how much time passes before it is combined in that same arrangement again; it will (technically) happen eventually.
It's not at all right to say that death is the end. What about all of the people that have come before us? And the primates? And the quadrillions of bacteria? Their lives may have ended, but it was not at all the end for them. They all still exist today, we still see monkeys and bacteria and people. Just new ones versions of them. The way I see it, death is a conclusion but not a finale. Death is like breaking a hard drive. Yes, you may lose everything that that hard drive had recorded since it was created, and yes that exact hard drive is gone forever, but it does not mean that there will not be many more hard drives that will come after and experience the same things the original did, and heck, even act exactly like what the old one did. All hard drives break eventually, anyways. Its best to use it to its fullest.
Sorry if that seemed like pointless psychotic rambling, it's just something I ponder often when I'm bored. Hope this helped you out at least a little bit.
