Life after death?

[GrandizerII]

My point is that the intangible truth that every dead person did exist and affected others is in no way different that what other things that existed in the universe did. The only difference between what people do and what a comet does, is that people place value what other people do. That's a good thing, but it doesn't have any lasting value beyond people's memories. For all practical purposes it will disappear when there is no one to remember it.

Whether or not something is true does not depend on whether or not someone knows about it.
The occurence past event can not stop being true.

If I wanted to go all out philosophical, I could argue otherwise. The past may linger in our memories, but it is no longer true.

Actually, our memories aren't even accurate in recording past events. We pretty much reconstruct these events every time we recall them.
