It's actually a bit of a pisser that they'll never know it.

Whilst I don't believe in souls, spirits, re-incarnation or anything like that I often ponder about consciousness. Yep, i know it's a product of my brain, but the question I always ask (which cannot be answered) is "why me? Why am I experiencing this consciousness in this body, right now. Why am I not instead the consciousness of 7 billion other people?" It's brain bending.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.
