Some people dwell -- unduly in my opinion -- about their own deaths and the meaning of it all. Yes we are all going to die -- just as ~ 100 billion people did before us (this is a rough estimate of the total number of human being who have ever died).
We either survive, or we don't. If we don't then it will be exactly the same as the time before our lives. It will be akin to deep sleep. If we survive? Then it's an adventure which will happen at some unspecified time in our futures. Meanwhile let's just lose ourselves in our lives. Enjoy ourselves.
Life is interesting. Existence is fascinating. Let's not lose sight of that.
