Story no one is lonely in death

[encore]

the thought that has been bringing me immense comfort recently is that everyone will die. it doesn't matter if you were rich, poor, and awful person, a saint, death will be the only equalizer between every living thing on this planet.

of course, it's a very basic and logical thought to have… but really sitting down to think and pondering on it, it reduced my fear of death, or rather the fear of "what comes after". you won't be alone. i won't be alone. even if we end up somewhere, anywhere, we wont be the first or last ones to die and experience death - and i think there's something incredibly romantic, human about it. death, to me, is the last warm embrace this world can offer to us, it's the ultimate fairness and a forever peace.

i will die alone.. but i also won't. many of us will die alone, yet at the same time, its an experience we will share with every single living being.

I was born alone, went through life alone and will die alone

I think what comforts me the most about death is that we're just gone after we die. At least I believe that very strongly. There's something about not being a participant in this world that eases my current painful state. And yes, everybody dies and faces the same state of nothingness. It's an honest relief as you've mentioned.

Dying alone is something that I want to do, I imagine my last day purging on treats and then finally listening to my favourite music and dying. :)

I've had that thought too- definitely. It helps not to be the first or last to do something plus, there's the added issue that it's unavoidable so, we kind of have to just accept it as best we can. I do try to tell myself, so many have died under so many circumstances. So many children even. Some in peace, some in fear. If they can do it, so can I.

I'm scared that we will somehow crack immortality and eternal youth in our lifetimes and the rich elite will get to live in luxury in their physical prime forever while I lived my short life covered in filth and ctb having accomplished nothing except being a burden on my family.

Eventually, yes, they will crack immortality. It will happen in a number of ways, either by uploading our consciousness digitally into some kind of quantum supercomputer. Or transferring human bodies or whatever the hell other way they come up with.


I'm not going to lie, being able to do crack or heroin and just jump into another body when your health gets bad would be fantastic

That would actually be the dream. Most of my problems would be solved if I could just shift my consciousness into a fresh, undamaged body whenever I want. Too bad most of us peasants are going to be priced out of that procedure, whenever it ends up happening.
