Went to cultural/environmental geography and learned a bunch about diseases of Africa. Jeeeez...that's some crazy shit, man. I got to thinking...
What if death was only a disease. The results being that the person mentally "disappears" from the majority of the population's perception. Of course, as the disease worsens, the person begins to physically decompose...unless they are somehow kept intact by means of mummification, random or intentional. When the disease progresses into the next stage, the mental and physical aspects are completely eliminated from the awareness of those without the disease. People who have had some sort of NDE (near death experience) are at least partially aware of those with the "disease" around them. Does death ever really occur?
The more I think about it...the more sense it makes to me. I've never believed that death is "the end". It's so open to interpretation. I could go on for a while about this, but that would take years.
Afterall, it's taken me 18 to get to this point...
