| When I think of death I get very scared. I don't understand why religious people (if they aren't "faking it") are even afraid of death. They are always promised some eternal heaven or afterlife where everything is perfect. As an atheist, I know the truth is that my body will disintegrate and my brain will shut down, no longer able to function with the world. Will I be sad? No. I'll be dead. But up to that point, I'll be very depressed that I cannot live forever. If I had one wish in the world that would be it. To see what happens next, forever. Some say you would get tired of it, but I know for a fact I would not. Or otherwise I wouldn't be so afraid of dying. It's such an interesting concept, that of life and death and all the feelings humans can relate to on the subject. |
