Paranoia

[Aegon]

About 3.

How do you deal with the idea that you will "fall asleep" in a dream without dreams someday and won't wake up? Although, when you hear world religions offering you a slav... I mean service to the Lord as alternative, it's as bad as being dead.

I know you put "fall asleep" in quotes but I don't like that comparison. It implies that your consciousness will now be trapped in darkness for all eternity. But that's not true. You just aren't going to exist. Your consciousness will cease to be. We can't imagine what it's like, because we can't recall experiencing non-experience, that's obviously impossible.

I'd be lying if I said I don't fear dying, i.e. no longer being able to live and experience life, but I have absolutely no fear of being dead or what's on the other side. Even as a child raised Catholic I never put too much thought into it.
