Death
June 14, 2008
Why are people scared to die? It’s just the end. You die and then you decompose. It’s nothingness. It’s an endless sleep without dreams. You don’t have to think, you’re simply gone. It’s not that unfathomable.
Why do people need a coping mechanism of sorts for death? That’s all that religion is, that is all that heaven, paradise, and reincarnation are. I don’t understand fear of death. Once you’re gone it doesn’t matter anymore. You don’t even know you are dead. You don’t know anything. You don’t think. You just cease to exist.
