There is one great fallacy in both, the eternal darkness and the eternal life.
They both demand a continued perception after the death of all senses.
The modern man has to face the ultimate truth in which death is the anti-being.
Understanding consciousness is the core of this dilemma.
Could you please explain what you mean with this ? I'm used to longer texts by you, so I'm not quite satisfied here ...
I accept Death as a Part of Life, they are both nothing buit two sides of the same medal.
I played Age of Wonders 2 , and I'd suggest that yozu play it too, because the way the game - and the story is built up, it could give you some insights.
Life without Death is not possible, and Death without Life is not possible, too. They are in a way connected to one another that no force is able to split them.
I might mourn for the people I love, but this is not the End.
Apart from a - rather cynical - "the show must go on", I believe that Death is not the End - maybe here, on Earth, but not in a spiritual sense.
I can honour the people by doing what these people stood for - I can keep them in my memory, but this is not the End.
If I don't want to be entangled by unfogotten past - so entangled that it drains life out of my self - then I must learn to let go.
If you listen to the Lyrics of Yes, then you'll find that quite often (especially in the Album "The Ladder") : Letting go makes one free.
Learning to let things go is one os the most difficult tasks one has to learn in the entire life.
