From his point of view, it is. Or more like, the world never existed.
Right. This is what I mean. From my POV as the deceased (so to speak) there is no discernible difference between having lived and died, and having never been born in the first place. I'm not talking about the difference I make in the world that continues to exist beyond my ending. I didn't mean to imply that people who have died no longer mean anything to those of us still living. Thanks for clarifying, Benny!
