You could see their feet and their nose smelling around confused as to where this ramp leads to. At this time, a man with a steel prod with a .22 caliber cartidge 'pops' the animal in the head with the steel pin. It is designed to destroy the motor functions of the animal. (you can't strap a 2500lb steer to a conveyer when its kicking, time is money). It hits the skids to the kill floor, they strap it up, and within 30 feet on that conveyer, they were totally skinned and headless. They use a forked winch to rip off the skin. There you really see an organism 'naked'. Right then and there, at 6 years old, I realized that there is absolutely NOTHING after death. Darkness is all you will find. Good thing is that the moment you are dead, you most likely won't really care. Your body decomposes and is used as a fuel by another organism. After I realized this, I finished my sandwich and never questioned death again.

Maybe in candy land something special happens to your 'soul'. Not in this world.

you dont KNOW that though so dont state it as a fact

thinking of death terrifies me, honestly im scared to die. we dont know what to expect. noone really knows what happens. i personally think that when parents and young kids go to church they are filling their heads with a false sense of securitythinking that their is a higher power and hoping that higher power will give them life after death. because they are afraid of the end, all they can do is hope. but what happens after death? is it just darkness? does ur soul occupy another infant body and u just grow up again? does our soul wonder around aimlessly? we dont know. we will only know when our time comes.

Well, I can for a fact say, that when you 'kill' an animal, they bleed out, die, and no longer move. When a man gets hit by a bus, he bleeds out, dies, and no longer moves. My mother died 3 years ago. I know exactly where shes buried and I know she ain't going anywhere.

But then again, we can't see radio waves, but they are all around. Just because we don't see them doesn't mean they don't exist. But by the 'heaven' logic, theres a dog heaven, a bovine heaven, human heaven, and a giraffe heaven.

I am definately open to being proven wrong. I am in no way pushing this on anyone. But from my experiences, death is bleak and inevitable whether you get hit by a bus or die at 102.....don't kid yourself, you'll just be dissappointed. (if you could be disappointed and dead at the same time)

Life is just death in a bottle, so live it hard with foot full throttle!! :D

but what if we all ran the same direction? couldnt we actually make the bottle go somewhere?

Life IS death, death IS life, and w/o it nothing would exist at all. I think the 'bottle' would better stand for "eternity", as life and death has been prevelant since the beginning of time.

And YES, together we can move the bottle in the direction we choose. We do it anyway, all we need is some unity to take it where it needs to go, lol!


:stoned:

lol no need for redundancy, i was just sparking inspirational thought :P

I didn't realize i was being redundant. Your thought just sparked another that I expounded on a bit. I thought it might contribute to the conversation if only in a small way. ;)
