death is only a symbol, not a literal concept.

only change exists in life, and death is but a state of change.

to die is to change. what changes occur to the mind i know nothing, so i look to death with awe, wonder, anticipation, and fascination.


ever since i was young, about 6 or 7, i have wondered about death.

at first it scared me, my first philosophy on death was absolute nothing(ness).
but then i figured that if something ever existed, it cannot simply disappear. when things die, they decompose and are scattered into the world.
we become dirt, and that dirt gives plants new life, which are eaten by things that die and become dirt.

the mind fails me. what happens to the mind is beyond me, and i want nothing more than to learn and know.


i have decided that the mind can either decompose, or move on to other bodies.

assuming we ARE, in fact, created in god's image, then our minds are immortal, and our bodies work like a car.

the body is merely a vessel of transportation and experience for the mind.

when the engine dies, you just get out of the car and go find a new one.

and just like cars, the body can be repaired and maintained to last longer.

i do not fear death, i look to it with questions i desire the answers to.

if i were alone and unloved, i would kill myself, not for the lack of love or purpose, but for the answers i seek.
