Yeah, and you can still get ran over by a car, or shot by your local police. People literally die everyday of everything. Life is brutal, but that is what makes it worth living is it not? Covid is the least of my worry's, but I am stoic so death literally does not scare me. I have spent most of my life thinking about what comes next, and what it means to be alive. Many cultures around the world know this, and they will tell you the same thing.

Death is not what you think it is, and there is no need to fear it. I am a coward, I fear pain, but I do not fear what comes after that. Be thankful for the time you have here, I know I am.

death does scare a lot of people. not being afraid of it is insanity IMO. You probably think you'll just go to heaven but you won't it's just the end. I do agree the vaccine is likely too dangerous. I think CDC is realizing that and how it doesn't even stop covid. The only fool proof thing is social distancing and that is what I mean by precautions.

Your close actually.

I dont believe god created the entire universe, to give us one little piece of dust and send us to hell or heaven for eternity for the simple act of not believing.

God has never spoken to me, Ive never seen an angel, and I have never witnessed a miracle. How would God expect me to believe if he doesnt give me some concrete proof. With that being said.

I refuse to believe that when you die that's it. I am not original nor do I claim to know for sure about anything. But deep down I feel it's much like how native americans amongst countless other cultures view it. As not the end. But as a transformation into something else. Into what, I havent really got a clue. But I do believe that we are all part of the same blob of energy but like the colors in a rainbow, we are made up of different wavelengths.

As carl sagan explains it, we are the universe being aware of itself. Death is as natural as birth and fearing the inevitable is pointless. All I can do is hope to face my transformation with bravery and dignity, like countless other beings that existed likely, long before earth was ever created.

You cant take memories with you, those are just formed neural pathways in your quantum computer which we call a brain. But I believe the essence of who you are, goes somewhere. Maybe a dimension where time and space do not exist. A place where there is no needs, or wants.

There is just the bland existence of being. Could you imagine what a existence would be like. I could see how we would be chomping at the bit to be reincarnated into any existence, no matter how unbelievably cold and brutal it may be. Just for the fleeting awareness of what it means to be a corporeal being with a mind that feels and wants things.

Be thankful for the time you have, I am for mine. Every second we exist is a miracle and should be treated as such. Stop worrying about the end, live for the moment. I was born with a veil and often view this as the universe playing a joke. We are all born behind a mask, I just happened to be born with a second one. Not that I think it really matters. Id proably just be as weird without the veil.
