Nothing exists anyway, as far as we know. The only thing we know definitively is that we exist as pure thought, (as Descartes said).
Outside of that...well you may be just a brain floating in a vat, being fed false sensations right now!

I don't believe you, you don't exist. Tongue

Of course I don't.
Nor do you! Shocked
Everything we know as our lives is just one giant illusion being fed to Slarti (whos a brain in a vat).

I took an epistemology class once. It probably was the closest experience to being dead that I've had.

Leaving the afterlife possibility out of this discussion, my take about that is:

I couldn't care less about that. Death is something that happens to everybody. I think all the problems with death come from problems in accepting the reality. People should not care about things they can't do anything about. Dead people remain dead regardless of what you do to yourself while thinking on them. When I die, all the rest will keep on, and I can't do anything about what is left.

So why worry about death?

It could be that the universe is one gigantic fabric or tapestry and the things it is comprised of (possibly including life like us) are constantly being "spun or interwoven" as part of "the playing field"

And if "Mother Universe" decides that all of a sudden, she does not like the design, and decides that it needs a quick,big, and aggressive alteration, or thinks of throwing it out completely, i tell you, fellow humans, we are going to be "up  sh$# creek without a paddle" in the most literal sense of the term!

The child isn't the correct choice because "children are the future."  The child is the correct choice because the husband and wife love their child more than they do each other.

By the way, CBS.com has old Star Trek episodes on streaming. Cool

Also, if you're wearing a red shirt, you are in extreme danger as far as the series goes, unless of course you are Scottish. Tongue

RIP James Doohan.
