Posted on Apr.12.2008 @ 12:57PM EDT by A_Pict
"If in everyday life, you are asked about continued existence after
death by one of those people who would like to know everything but
refuse to learn anything, the most appropriate and approximately correct
answer is: 'After your death you will be what you were before your
birth.' For this answer implies that it is preposterous to demand that a
species of existence which had a beginning should not have an end; in
addition, however, it contains a hint that there may be two kinds of
existence and, correspondingly, two kinds of nothingness."
-Arthur Schopenhauer

Life is risky, death has no risk. Do you think a child in the womb would understand what you are trying to talk about? Could you explain that the child's perfectly comfortable life where everything is provided, where all needs are fulfilled isn't the end when it's time to be born? How would you explain to the womb that the child has has not died? The ego is like an egg - you have to come out of it.
