people really do try to communicate with the dead through myspace out of frustration and partial denial that they can no longer really say what they needed to say to that person. it just fucking creeps me out to see a profile intact the way it was, as if they were still alive, and then see comments like you're dead.

i thought you could feel the pain and humanity of the dead person's friends even through the superficiality of an online myspace profile (which is unusual, because normally i find real humanity to be the last thing people show of themselves on those sites). it also just struck me as profoundly sad that that is where we go now to mourn our dead.

I have to agree with these comments.
The saddest thing is that so many people have so many regrets about how little time they take for the real things in life, maybe the virtual world is easier because you can switch it on and off at will ( maybe I'm a cynic ).

I'm not afraid of death. I don't see why anybody would be, unless they believe in Hell and think they're going there. But I don't believe in Hell. Even if there was a God, I don't think he would be cruel enough to torture people for eternity as punishment for a finite number of immoral acts. If there's some afterlife that isn't Hell, I would be fascinated to know what it is.

But I suspect there is no afterlife. Most likely when you die you just stop thinking and experiencing things, and I'm not afraid of that either. Why should I be? By the time I'm dead, I won't be able to care that I'm dead, just like I haven't spent the past 15 billion years fretting over the fact that I wasn't born yet. And as long as I'm not dead, I still have the power to achieve happiness, such as by smoking this bowl in front of me...

that site sort of made me realize...i looked through a couple of the dead peoples myspaces..alot of them are flashing money and other materialistic shit like that...and nothing matters to them anymore...no amount of money or nice shoes could bring them back..so you really gotta enjoy life and not worry about stupid shit...maybe if thye traded all that green money for green grass theyd still be here

Haha, thats awesome and so damn TRUE :D




and yea, "you" stop thinking and experiencing things, but all the matter and energy that is "you" right before you die will still be here, released back into the surrounding universe... so that your molecules can kind of, you know, explore it on their own terms. they still undergo sensitivities and reactions with other matter, which is a form of 'experience' on the most basic level i think. in fact, there is probably no REAL difference between that and the kind of experience us living folks are feeling right now.

isn't life certain in... life?
