Even if you die, and there is no afterlife, you still exist.You will be put into the ground, and reabsorbed by the earth and its creatures.Worms eat you, birds eat the worms,your body nourishes the plant life, gives off gasses and these gasses are absorbed into the air, and eventually, into the lungs of all life on earth.We're all made from the particles of those who came before us.

i think im so afraid because of my beliefs...im atheist i guess. i dont beleive in god (in the same way i dont beleive in the tooth fairy or the easter bunny). i believe that when you die it all ends. no lights, no fire, no peter, no wings, no reincarnation, no limbo, no whatever. just black.
ive bleieved this since i was a child. the only part of you that ithink moves on is your electrical and magnetic energy (duh). but yet, im so afraid to die. i dont want my life to end, i wanna stay with my wife and lovemy kid and grow my crop and keep doing good in the world....but then i reemember the black. thats what i live with day to day.
so i guess my question is: how do i make myslf not fear death?
i tried to watch those nasty videos of people dying, cuz thats what psychiatrists tell you to do when you have a fer of death or blood, but all that did was make me realize that life is so damn short. and it ends so damn fast.
