Hi Sam. I'm just catching up with old friends. Said hi to Haley earlier. Talk to me. None of my friends go on anymore. Waaaahhh! Oh, btw, happy day after halloween! SUGAR RUSH BAE BAE!!!
XD this is the first time I've looked at my profile for a while.
As for the gravesite/death certificate, what if nobody knew you when you were alive, and nobody knew you were dead? After every last bit of your body decomposes, you cease to exist. No physical remains, no lasting memory, nothing. Rather depressing, huh?
Or maybe your "soul" survives, but I have yet to hear an accurate definition of what a soul is, or even proof that it exists. And what would it survive as?
Physical existance overpowers the memory of existance. If you are alive, but no one remembers you, there is still the physical evidence of your existance. A tangible body, in other words, will over-power the proof of mere memory.
If no one remembers you, there is still physical evidence of your existance. A grave, a death certificit (I know I spelled that wrong, and am not gonna bother fixing it). Nevertheless, my beliefs are that to truly exist, you must prove it through either creation, or the effect you leave on people. Both requiring you to be remembered in some way. However, the people you left an effect on will eventually die. But the effect they leave on others will be driven by the effect you left on them. Whether they teach others to act as you did, or to act the exact opposite. Even then, however, the next generation may not know your name, but none would live the way they do had you not lived to begin with.
