What does it matter really if I - or anyone for that matter - dies? Death is just the abscence of life - n the way I see it, that might just b a GOOD thing. So why do people get so upset about it or scared of it? I mean I understand missing the ones that pass on n etc - I still miss my mom, that isn't truly my question. It's more a question of how does the death of any one person truly impact the whole of humanity? Why does the death of any one person affect any of us as profoundly as it sometimes does? For me - my death will have little to no impact on anyone when it comes, but there have been those that have passed whose oassing has had a huge impact on me. So - being that death is just the abscence of life n that is really a good thing - why is death viewed so negatively?
