    Interesting thought. Some days I feel like I’m not really scared of dying because this world seems so negative that the afterlife can’t be any worse. Still, every day we live is a chance to bring a beam of positive energy into the world.

      And we should bring as much positive energy into the world while we are here. I just think that we need to come terms with our own mortality and what may await us on the otherside. This of course, is a very personal thing for each one of us.

        True. Though I find that I’m becoming more interested in leaving a lasting, positive mark. Guess it’s the idea of once I’m gone, that’s it for my influence. Kind of like how I think killing a character is the end of their story so it shouldn’t be taken lightly.

        I believe that leaving a positive mark is what we all should strive to do, or at least positive memories for those we leave behind. All good things my friend.

    I do not fear death,
    Not because life is an illusion
    But because Death is just another scene
    In the play that is my life.
