Obviously I couldn't exist from a 3rd person POV, but when I die it'll seem to me as if the world ends; MY world will end. How can I explain this... When you sleep without dreaming everything is nonremembered, and seems 'black'. If death is the same, then it'll be lights out for eternity, and therefore I'm wondering why I'm conscious to begin with. Why me? Why here? Why now? Why at all? etc.
Any answers or ideas? I've asked my friends and family, but they don't really grasp the concept of the question.
I have a body.
I have a brain.
I have a soul.
I am none of these things, unless I can only described as being what I have.
But even then I've suggested that there is an I that can posses.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
