As for death...I see it as a great motivator to live well.
The only motivator we need to worry about. As far as we know, we only get one life. Then our constituent molecules that make up whatever our consciousness is get freed to be, I dunno, calcium in a future pharmaceutical, or carbon at the bottom of some sea, to feed some horrific sea creature.
I don't know what happens after death, but I'm planning on sticking around as a ghost and haunting some fuckers. Could be fun.
Troll some people while you'll still alive though, won't you? :) None of this casper shit :D
Nah, more fun when I'm a ghost, going to drive some fuckers bonkers and maybe a few to, and well beyond, the brink of insanity.
