Like all dreams, life has to end at some point. Whether it will fade away into nothingness, be abrupt, or be revealed piece by piece- its inevitable. Any sane person should fear death, as many people fear a WILD, partly because of the possibilities of death, but mostly because of the unknown. Many religions are hinged upon what happens after death; is there an afterlife, a new life, another plane of existence?
I'm a baptized Christian, but yet a slight agnostic. I'd like to blissfully believe solely, undoubtedly in a religion- who wouldn't want there to be a fantastic life after death? Unfortunately the reality may be much less cushy- an empty nothingness much like before you were born... A grim thought, but one that opens a variety of questions. Logically, scientifically the mind and body end at your death. The question is- do 'you' die with it? Dreams, even are the result of rapidly firing neurons in the brain; if these ceased would you cease to exist?
By now you've probably noted my incoherent ramblings, what do I think will happen after death? Will it continue as real life- only to have the sheets pulled down and revealing death? Truthfully I have no idea how it will all come to a close, nor how it will continue. What I do know is that my impact on the world will have been a positive one. At the end of the day all you have are memories, and even as you age those may leave you.
Alas, this post draws to a close; nothing more answered than when it began.
