And does it scare you or are you more of a pragmatist and knowing it is inevitable you accept it and don't think or worry about it?
The recent ghost thread has revived my interest in this topic and all that it can possibly mean.
When I was a little girl I remember vivid thoughts worrying about what death was and closing my eyes and thinking the blackness mimicked how death must be minus any feelings/thoughts. Just a total black abyss. Nothingness. And it scared the bejeezus out of me. Even back then I thought too much and overanalyzed everything.
I would love to believe in reincarnation because that would mean you never really die. And I would also love to believe that your soulmate is always your soulmate throughout the times and you always find each other. The rational part of me knows this cannot be true and also does not believe reincarnation exists. But the recent ghost thread really has me thinking. If ghosts exist does that mean afterlife exists? Does that mean we don't truly die but go on in different forms? And is that a good thing or is it something else to fear? I wouldn't want to go on as a ghost, trapped in another world unable to live amongst the living if you kwim.
I would love to hear what others thought about death and all that goes along with it. Sorry if this topic is a downer for some but I am looking for some insight on what others might think.
