I just today viewed this vidieo in full, and you have really given me a renewed faith in our young people. I hope you have success in pharmacy school and I hope to keep in contact to see how you progress. I feel you will do really great.. I remember when I was your age and now I am getting closer to being 1 of the older people in my community

For me its not so much being gone, for me its if theres nothing afterwards then I will never see my family again, my mother, my father, my brother. Even if its as i am forever in sleep the thought is killing me.

[JEMASCOLA]

Yeah, that's what's bothered me as well. It would be painful never to see loved ones again. I definitely have felt the kind of things you've described, and it is not easy to deal with. It's very depressing, frightening, and sad, and it can take weeks if not months to get over. As I said in my comment in the other video, I wish the best of luck for you :).

btw surfingthechaos is correct, and check my comment on vid part#1... ps if ya wanna chat more feel free to pm me... but I could tell you a lot that has happened to me but it's not for comment section... just like surfing said said make life the best it can be... and cheer up bro...

[JEMASCOLA]

Sure, I'll be glad to PM you.

[JEMASCOLA]

Yeah, I think you're right about what you said. You make a lot of good points. And truthfully, it's not something to be depressed about. Since then, I've gotten over a lot of that worry.

It's almost a fact of life that no one is really meant to know exactly what happens to us when we die. That doesn't mean you shouldn't ask. It's important that we keep a sense of wonder about things that we don't understand, and keep asking those questions, I just hate to think that you are getting depressed over it. Just remember that the unknown can in and of itself be a beautifull thing.

"while we as the specific combination of memories, ideas, atoms and whatnot are seperated, I don't think that anything to be afraid of or depressed about." Wow I really butchered that phrase. (lol) What I meant to say was while the memories, ideas, atoms etc that combine in a specific way to make us who we are WILL eventually seperate again, I don't think that's anything we should be afraid of or depressed about.

Anyway I think the most important thing is to realize that whatever form the afterlife might take you can definitely say that we as we know ourselves will be gone. So we need to cherish our transient existence while we are here, and try to make the most of it. I hope this helps.
