tisonlyi, the main problem of your argument is that i agree with you. I didn't claim i was unique, or that I wanted to live forever. What I was saying (or trying to) was that people who just want to have a fun/good time and helping others enjoy theirs are just defining their lives on the death that's apporaching. In some part of their minds when they say these things, they think "i'll be dead soon, so I should enjoy life while i have it." I'm not saying it's a bad thing, or even a shallow view- in fact, for the time being it is my viewpoint as well. I'm just saying it's absurd and hedonistic for our lives to be this way. If you remove death, leaving only what fufills us in life, our current experiences are not ENOUGH to me. I feel there should be more to life and creation itself than to spin around and around in cycles of growth and destruction. I know i'm not a special flower, and most likely neither is the whole human race. But the universe? It may just be something one of a kind, unique and worthy of something more. I just have no comprehension of what that could be.
