What Death Feels Like
Sometimes my mind will drift into the idea of death. It’s a scary thought, because it’s hard to imagine not existing anymore. What would that feel like? The answer is: you will never know that you’re dead.
When you lay in bed at night, you close your eyes and try to fall asleep. You never actually feel yourself fall asleep though. In fact, you don’t even realize that you fell asleep until you wake up.
Therefore, when you die, you will never know that you’re dead because you’ll never wake up to realize it or have a moment to miss your life. There is no reason to fear death, because losing something is meaningless if you can never miss it.
