Anyway, how did you get over the thought of dying? After the huge support structure called "Religion" was taken away from your life, how did you get over the thought of everything you have ever done having no effect on the Universe as a whole. Or everything ever done by anyone is going to be completely destroyed by the inevitable heat death of the Universe.
Personally I feel that, because of all of our fates, it makes life even more precious. This took me a while to understand, but hopefully most of you do.
I wanted to know if our reasons matched up or differed.
Thanks!
