I do! I crops up every so often. Usually when I’m alone. My biggest fear is not having consciousness after death. Not death or what happens after death. It’s losing the ability of free thought. For there to be just nothing.
Now I’ve read plenty of theories and of course every religion has its own take on an afterlife. Even the plausible transferral of energy theory where energy is never lost, only transferred to another form of energy. So a candle burns until it has no wick left to burn. The energy is transferred to heat energy during the course of the candles life but then there is nothing. Just a memory of the lit candle and the energy it used during its life. When you think of it like that any energy you use during the course of your life leaves only traces. At the end of it all...well there is nothing left. There is no energy to transfer like the candle.
Anyway! It’s something that destroys me anytime I think about it. Do you have anything you feel the same way about?
