Carpe Vitae! Seize Life! Now! This is all there is after all!

You're very welcome @cannavarocanva46. It's hard to tell it like it is as most people don't want to hear the harsh facts of life in the objective reality of Nature were we actually exist.

Most people have a fantasy that they'll have some sort of afterlife, they hope or they have faith stricken beliefs about it... as if a story one tells oneself (or others) will have any impact upon the harsh facts of death and alter it in any way.

It's very understandable of course, who wouldn't want to exist forever?

It's also very greedy and selfish in the extreme to expect more from the Universe than it can give... but that to is understandable as who wouldn't want to exist forever in some magical disembodied form?

Hold on, disembodied like in a ghost? On some amorphous ambiguous plane of existence worshiping other beings as their slaves? No thanks, let the microbes and worms have me.

I'd rather Nature recycle my no longer functioning remains, at least that way I complete the cycle of life without some silly mythological fantasy wasting my brief existence.
