I felt this most when looking at seemingly timeless things - mountains, oceans - but they're not really. Also not aware. Better to be me.

Have you come to terms with mortality, tweeps? Or do you accept it but think it best not to think about it? Or have transhumanist hopes?

When I think hard about death it scares me, which I know is irrational. More casually it angers me. The stuff I'm going to miss!

I never believed, but I always wanted there to be a god (not the one in scripture) and an afterlife. https://secondthoughtfortheday.wordpress.com/2013/12/18/my-afterlife-and-tim-minchins-christmas/ …

I blub whenever I read it, and I wrote it - how dumb is that. Time for bed PS - I ordered the book :)

You sentimental northerners. ;-) Yay! You'll enjoy it. Or be thought-provoked by it, anyway.
