I dunno about you, but that feels like I am getting off too easy. I would love to believe that human consciousness just dissipates upon death but it seems somehow unlikely to me. Of course at one level it is just hard to imagine for me. But I often feel like after this life, by the fundamental principle of entropy I will be born into an even more shit existence.

>he still accepts Christian individuality without Christian immortality

When beauty is abstracted
Then ugliness has been implied;
When good is abstracted
Then evil has been implied.

So alive and dead are abstracted from nature,
Difficult and easy abstracted from progress,
Long and short abstracted from contrast,
High and low abstracted from depth,
Song and speech abstracted from melody,
After and before abstracted from sequence.

The sage experiences without abstraction,
And accomplishes without action;
He accepts the ebb and flow of things,
Nurtures them, but does not own them,
And lives, but does not dwell.

I am not by nature apathetic. Anon hates this about me.

I accept my eventual end, wishing for more the whole way along. Further, I am coming to terms with the eventual death of my, all, species, which looms and lumbers ever closer... Wishing for more the whole way along. Wishing I could do something about it.
