I was watching a film today called final destination (the review is around somewhere). It wasn't a good film but the general jist was that your fate is set and there is nthing you can do to escape it. I HATE this kind of film. Not because it's not fun, because it gets me thinking. This is a dangerous thing. I start to think about the meaning of life, mine in particular. I have already established that i do not believe in god. So i guess stuff just happens right? Not very satisfactory is it. I got thinking about life and death. One day I will die. I do not know when this will be and i don't like the idea of it. One day i will just cease to be. What will happen then? I do not believe in a god and hence i do not believe in an afterlife as such. Would i remember anything? or would i just not exixt? From a scientific point of view. My biological carrier would be expired and so i would cease to function, everything would shut down, my heart my lungs, my brain. So i would be incapable of remebering, thinking. I would be a shell. Useless. Ornamentation. This makes death scary. Although in a way not that frightening at all. If there's nothing, then there's nothing to fear. I guess it's fear of what would be lost, left undone. But this is a good thing. If i thought there was a better place when we die, an "afterlife" I would have killed myself a long time ago. I never want to die. I want to live forever. Obviously i want to live forever as a young healthy person ,which people seem to overlook. People are living longer. That is a fact, but the human body is not designed to last that long. They start to break down. Not a 1000 years ago, if you reached 40 you would have been an old timer. Physically you are going downhill from 30. You might have another 50 years in you. Should we be looking to prolong our life or to make the tim ewe have better. I am greedy, I want both. Staying in during the day seems like a small price to pay |
