I wonder...

Does one age...if they are already dead?

Age is simply a way of putting a time scale on how long a person's been around. That's what I've always thought at least.

So being dead doesn't really seem to change anything. You're still around therefore it seems well...strange to be saying you're dead.

[charming_sadist]

Mm...

I rather like the way you think.

[meno_nikephoros]

Thank you - you've posed an interesting question.

Is there anything happening that made this thought spring to mind?

[charming_sadist]

Growing older in the face of death.

[meno_nikephoros]

A birthday?

The fact of the matter is do you view yourself as alive or dead? The living dead is an oxymoron that doesn't make sense. They may have been dead but if they're funtioning and walking around interacting with things then they're alive - them being dead before is just a minor detail.

You seem pretty alive to me.

[charming_sadist]

Oh, I feel quite alive...rather good for a man who was destined to be a corpse.

Mm...why thank you.

[meno_nikephoros]

We're all destined to be a corpse at some point. But I think if a person is dead, then their body won't age anymore. It doesn't stop the maturing process of the way your mind works though.

It's an odd thought really
