Any answers or ideas? I've asked my friends and family, but they don't really grasp the concept of the question.
I'm probably misunderstanding so forgive me if I'm wrong but how can you be so sure death is like that. True death is not existing, you wouldn't have the awareness of everything seeming black. Seems like you're stuck in a black box.
