      You did not exist for all of time before you were conceived. Post-death nonexistence should be no different than before birth.

          And the energy will convert to another living form of energy. The energy is eternal but constantly changes.

          Then choose to believe in an afterlife. That should comfort you until nonexistence rolls around again.

          What do you think that you accomplish by making a statement like that? It certainly does not make people happier...

          Acceptance of Truth creates a peace/contentment that can b the 1st step toward happiness. If u allow it.

          Haven't we all existed eternally, in a sense? The energy & atoms which make our bodies existed way before our birth?

          I hold out hope that when this consciousness ends, I'll reawaken somewhere in the multiverse.
