Whenever I start pondering death too much, I just remind myself of this Mark Twain quote:
“I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it.”
About whether I would want there to be anything after this life, then both yes and no.
This lyric from a song by Christian Mistress always stuck in my mind, especially the bolded...:
Don't believe in heaven
Don't believe in hell
There isn't anything
Beyond the physical
Eternity is a long time
Would you want to know yourself that well
Eternity is a fine time
But it's all in your mind
