I'm sure you've seen many tough and hardening experiences in your line of work. I can feel that you've really changed over the years as well, snet. I still remember some of the less mature things you've written both on TL/PGtour forums in the past, but I'm so happy for you that you've found something greater to look for in life. Continue the great work, man! | ||

In the end, I guess they're the same thing. i've always wondered what it'd be like to die, which leads me to wonder what it'd be like to not exist, to not think. | ||

When I sleep I don't remember anything or feel anything the moment my eyes close unless I'm dreaming until I wake up. Thats exactly how not existing I think would be like. Like a slumber that you would never wake up from. I guess its not exactly accurate but its the closest I could think for how it would be to not exist. I never said I knew how it would feel to not exist. I just said what I think not existing would feel like. Absolutely nothing. | ||

You can eat away at my body, but I am still the unique individual that I was when I was brought into this world many years ago. I am special. I will die with a smile on my face no matter what you throw at me. I am me. This is probably one of the most beautiful things I've ever read. So poetic. But Yeah, you're right. On the topic of eternity, Mark twain once said: "I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it." I think, this pretty much sums it up. | ||

What does EMS stand for? Do you mean Emergency Services or does it stand for something else? I've just never seen Emergency Services called EMS before, is it an American thing? The only EMS I know know is the shipping company and that's obviously not what you are talking about... | ||

It wasnt even the come back as a flea/pig etc scenario. I remember stressing over just being born into a different family. Meanwhile, somewhere out there your current family is as well, but you wouldnt know or recognize each other. You lose all the skills/knowledge/memories etc haha I was freaking out over that in elementary school for a short while.. kind of funny looking back at it now. I dont know if I am scared of death, I'd like to say 'no'. Haven't really been in a situation that tested that claim, thankfully.I'd imagine the reaction would somewhat different if it became a real, tangible possibility. | ||
