If you do, tell us about what you think awaits you after your last post.
And if you don't, how do you cope with knowing you will be worm food soon?
Do you remember anything from before you were born? I don’t. I simply didn’t exist. It’s uncomfortable to think about, but maybe that’s exactly what happens when we die — we just stop existing. And while that’s unsettling to contemplate while we’re still alive, the truth is that once you’re gone, you won’t be there to care. The fear exists only in the living. Arnold has talked about how much he hates the idea of dying; his life is great, and he still wants to accomplish so much.
The universe itself seems built around the idea that everything has a beginning and an end. If nothing ever died, the world would be overcrowded; if nothing new were ever born, life would grow stagnant. Stars burn out or explode. Even black holes eventually evaporate. And the universe may end not with a dramatic collapse, but with a quiet fade — a deep freeze of maximum entropy where all energy is spread so thin that nothing else can happen.
