am i the only person who's been thinking about this. (i've been thinking about it a lot lately), and it's actually quite a worrying thought

anyway my thought is- what if we don't die?

what if everyone dies around us and we're left alive?

like... we can't die until we've done something special. like a task in order to prove we've lived our lives to the fullest

has anyone thought about this.

it's rather scary

Whether or not it bothers others, it's enough that it bothers you.
What do you think lies behind this...fear?

I tend to think the opposite, but to the same end. I think what if I'm already dead and this is my eternal punishment? I think it is a fear that I will never get better.

Sometimes I fear that there really is an afterlife...I feel like getting through this life is enough. The idea of having to continue to exist infinitely in a different dimension, even if it's somewhere nice, sounds exhausting.

it has a lot to do with my theory of their being plenty of ways to fail at life

i posted about this in another thread (i think anyway?), but anyway my thoughts are that since i've got nothing to show for my life so far, and as long as i continue to have nothing to show for it, i'm kept from dying.

like someone saying to me... well, you've wasted your life so far, and if you're not going to make the most of it, you're stuck here until you do.

along those lines..
