You die, brain activity ceases, you decompose, worms eat some of you, the bird eats the worm, the cat eats the bird and so on. Some of you evaporates into the air, you water trees, fill lakes, etc. You make yourself useful.
Death begets life, do you live on in this sense? In a way I suppose, my hope is that in some way we do live on like this, because the idea that you sleep and never wake disturbs me to no end, and this thought soothes me.The thought that my remains will breath life into some creature, which would develope a brain, heart, lungs, what have you, and I'll be left to ponder the question all over again.
Then again there's always the idea of heaven, and I can't disprove the existance of a god. I'm hard pressed to choose the big bang theory over creationism actually. I'll see when I get there, or maybe not, but the hope is what keeps me happy =).
