I have a really hard time with the whole idea. I can't let my mind wander too far at night because the thought of death and whether there is meaning to any of this keeps me up. I try to keep my thoughts on other things. Worrying about it sure isn't going to change the outcome. I don't know if I'm ever going to come to peace with knowing one day this will all end. I dread it. Until then, I'll be watching TV to fall asleep every night! lol

That scared you feel when you think about it.... That's why religion is so successful.

Fact is we don't know. There is no reason to think we continue to exist as anything but energy once our bodies stop functioning. So you'd better make the best of what you've got now, and leave a nice legacy.

No biggie. In a few billion years the sun will expand and engulf the Earth; in a few more, our galaxy will collide with the Andromeda galaxy; and if that's not enough, the heat death of the universe is only a few trillion years away. So get some perspective!

If I’m dead, why would I care?

Just think about how you felt before you were born.

It's not something I dwell upon, but when I die, the lights go out. As long as someone remembers me, my spirit lives on. Eventually, all the lights go out as the Universe cools. I'm 73 and most of my life is gone. I'll do the best I can to have a great time, and then it's over. Worry wastes the good times.

I do believe in life after death but not as we understand it from our current perspective.

It's not a thought I usually have.
I'm fairly comfortable with that one day, I will just stop.

From the great Jim Jeffries: "I won't even know that I'm dead, you know why,... Because I'll be fuckin dead".
Pretty much how I feel about it.

Doesn't bother me in the least.
