Ok, I don't know how well this philosophy works but it's one I conscript to once in awhile when I need to look at my life objectively.
So basically all humans really are, are a bunch of cells arranged in a specially way that allows what we call consious thought. This is what seperates us from animals, not opposable thumbs though those are handy. But in reality what is thought, scientifically its just an electric signal that passes through brain cells and synapses. What are emotions, really just and imbalance of chemicals that elicit certain reation from the body. So really what are we, but a big hunk of electrified meat. This sounds horrible and depressing, I know, but think of the ramifications. This state of mind, when employed to all things that involve human interaction, at least for me helps eliminate my fear of death. Now that sounds rediculous and an extreme that many people don't face. Probably because most people haven't come to terms with their demise, or just don't think about it, and that's perfectly fine. However for me, if all I am is a jumble of cells and molecules, the same stuff as everything else in the universe, then what is so damn special about me. What makes my death so damn important. Let me explain. My "death" is nothing but the end of my conscious thought in the coherent pattern that I use to define my personality. All of the atoms and molecules of my body still exist, just not as me. So basically, all we humans are, are just manifestations of the nature that surrounds us, but we feel so cheated because we are aware of our own demise. I beg to differ, I feel that if you can totally lose this self-centered view that YOU as a human have no right to be robbed of life, you can realize that we are all just passing forms of the same stuff, the very essense of the universe and everything that exists.
Now i know that wasn't as coherent as it could be, and that my theories are absolutely rediculous. But I just had to put that out there. I also didn't take into account any spirit that may or may not leave the body to some afterlife, but that is an arguement that I don't even want to address. But yea I'm still here I just never post, and when I do its crazy stoner shit like this. But good to be back anyway.
