Half of the time I look forward to my death, it doesn’t scare me since I don’t see the real point of my life, what scares me is if my agony would be slow and painful.

But then what? I just stop existing and it’s like I fell asleep? Do I see light? Darkness? Nothing? What is nothing?

    The mind is what the brain does .

    When the brain stops doing, the mind stops being.

    There is no darkness, there isn’t even nothing, because there’s no you to experience it.

    Where do the ripples on a pond go if the water dries up? There are no ripples, because there’s no longer a pond for them to be on.

      It’s such a weird concept to get our heads around but this is it, and I personally find it quite comforting. It’s just very hard to explain why!
