once you're brought into existence

I don't get it

I was trying to fathom the idea of dying last night

drugs may or may not have been involved :3

it just seems like your consciousness, once brought into existence, would be forced to live on in some way

I understand how convoluted this sounds, and I apologize for offending you :3

I mean I understand, but I don't understand

You're assuming your personal life is somehow special or unique

One day you will receive death as a welcome messenger, and it will all make sense

Lol wtf. “Would be forced to live on in some way”? What does that even mean? Is the person living on metaphorically or something?

Pretty girl, pretty, pretty girl
Cease to exist
Just come and say you love me
Give up your world
C'mon you can be

I'm your kind, oh, your kind and I can see
You walk on, walk on
I love you, pretty girl
My life is yours
Ah, you can have my world

Never had a lesson, I ever learned
But I know, we all get our turn
And I love you
Never learn not to love you

Submission is a gift
Go on, give it to your brother
Love and understandin'
Is for one another

I'm your kind
I'm your kind
I'm your brother

I never had a lesson, I ever learned
But I know we all get our turn
And I love you

Never learn not to love you
Never learn not to love you
Never learn not to love you

Written by Charles Manson as "Cease to Exist" but ultimately recorded by the Beach Boys as "Never Learn Not to Love"

So, like, you're fine with just coming into being, but stopping being is weird? Either both are weird or neither is.

I don't even see the logical difficulty..it would be just like going to sleep

however, I do think that certain logical and mathematical facts (e.g. the value of pi, the fact that a given integer is prime) would be valid even if the whole universe were obliterated, or had never even been created. this is what gives me a hard-on.

I don't think I really mean what I said in the title

I'm just too lazy to be coherent lolz

it just seems like your brain would kind of keep going, regardless of having no connection to your body

or it just gets suspended in belief that it still exists

I don't know man

I don't know!!

so as long as your brain somehow comes into contact with some other element, some of your ummmm atoms will live on

or something
