Death is part of life. I'm getting to the age where I need to accept that my days are numbered by sheer senescence. My grandparents are long gone, my wife's parents are long gone. It's only a matter of time; the antithesis to life.
- JohnFen 3y agoI'm on the tail end of my lifetime as well, and I hope that when I go, those I leave behind will celebrate the good I brought while I was here rather than mourn that my time has ended. That our lifespans are finite is, in my opinion, a good thing to be embraced. That we die is what makes our time valuable and precious. I do not fear or dread my death, although I get nervous about the possibility that I may suffer on the way out. I would be very saddened if anyone I leave behind felt compelled to build a fake version of me in order to pretend, in a way, that I am still with them. They would be doing themselves a disservice and possibly even harm. I don't want my existence to result in that.
