This body of mine, with its strong muscles and healthy skin in-tact, one day it is going to perish and my lifeless body is going to be placed in a hole in the cold ground for the worms to feed upon my rotting flesh until nothing remains.
I came very near to dying once. I do not fear death. I am just perplexed by it.
Is death going to be the end of me?
Or is bodily death only a migration of the soul, the start of a new journey, a fresh experience? What we call the soul, does it even exist? Is the soul immortal?
In Plato's Apology, Socrates says that death is either one of two things - Either it is like an endless, dreamless sleep, or it is a new experience, a new journey. Either way, there is no reason to fear. =)
