[quote=flyer]Yes, scaredy, no one can deny the body, as we know it, has a termination date. No amount of money anyone acquires will change that. However, there are many theories, metaphysical, religious, yes, even scientific, etc., wrt the continuation of existence in many forms, beyond this realm, and those are for each of us to embrace as we choose.

The Buddhist friends I give money to every month in Escondido explained that there is no Me separate from the entire universe, so my constituent parts will never die, but merely be transformed. Sounds reasonable.
I was walking the other nite with my youngest and said I was ready to die anytime, I had done enough, but that I was not quite prepared to suffer. He said to wait a bit because he still needed me. I didn’t get into the issue of whether we actually had independent selfs.
