Death....
I'm really curious about death. It bothers me but I accept it. I basically have two theories about death....
1) The brain is basically a big chemical and electrical conduit. It conveys messages, feeling and all that we experience. When we die, we just don't exist anymore. The impulses that drive out brain just stops. Our personality, thoughts, memories and conscience are just impulses from our brain. And once those stop, we just stop existing and return to where we came. It stops right there, our "souls" are just an impulse. I believe that all these things are made up so that death seems like a palatable concept.
2) Death is alot like birth. Initially we came into this world not knowing what would be happening. Death could be seen the same way. We pass from one place to another. For example, going to heaven. But the difference is that the "place" that we go to is entirely new to us, we don't know anything about it and if there are other people we may rely on for guidance. Hence being a little bit like birth.
