What's weird is that to me, living forever seems like the same thing as nothingness. I'd much rather die than face the monotony of life for all eternity. Funny how we all see things differently, eh?

Huh, interesting how we do see it differently. I can't get behind that at all, as I feel like at least a state of existence allows for change (or, removal of monotony). Just having that ability to change makes it much more appealing than a state of non-existence which is just the end of my subjective universe. Terrifying.

it sounds like suicide but only after 100 years and having a family. You can have that and live forever. sure its sadness but knowing no part of me can or will live on, knowing I wont have any conscience left to experience anything is maddening to me. I need to know things. I am always trying to learn. Currently, its accounting and coding. I know weird mix up. I just need something that gives me access to knowledge and other people and I will beg to live forever.

That's fair, I guess. But honestly, I find it hard to know for certain what happens after death. Claiming to know that it's a lack of experience, a void, takes just as much faith as claiming reincarnation or heaven as your final resting place. I don't really have enough faith for any of those options. So, if it's nothingness, then I finally get to rest. If it's anything else, I'm ready and excited for that too. What happens after death is a mystery. Anyone claiming to know one way or another is fooling themselves.

...agnostic thought barfing over. Sorry.
