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. | ||
