Thinking about death, as in complete anihilation is something both awe inspiring and frightening to all, isn't it?
I recently visited a salt mine/museum; as soon as I entered the enormous chamber with the low-rumbling noises, beautiful geological patterns on the wall, I was struck by the feeling that this is an inescapable tomb, our fate is sealed, an eternity passed before us and an eternity will pass after us, billuons upon billions of years and we won't get to experience them, we are both so dumb and so lucky not to think about it every day.
- aksss 5y agoWhat was the salt mine/museum, out of curiosity? Sounds like an old IT job I used to have. :D But for reals, it sounds like an incredible experience.
