Since the birth of our son, I have been thinking about death a lot. He takes comfort when he is in my wife's hug and sometimes refuses to sleep if she is not around. I'm sure he remembers nothing about this when he grows up (< 2 yr now). But then I wonder, maybe many years later, when he passes away, surely this replay of memory might give him the last comfort? Anyway, as a (not 100%) materialist, I feel uneasy when I think about death. The older I am the more uneasy I feel. Of course there is no way to cheat death, but I'm looking forward to training myself to accept the inevitable before it is too late. Or maybe there IS life after death, or certain kind of existence. I'm also looking forward to that too.
