Brain death or when you are forgotten?

Once you start watching anime

When all that you hold sacred
Falls down and does not mend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

When you're standing on the crossroads
That you cannot comprehend
Just remember that death is not the end
And all your dreams have vanished
And you don't know what's up the bend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

The idea that you live on in people's memories is nice and sentimental, but you're also dead, so it's not like you can give a shit about that

OT:

who cares, silly question

when you die, everyone else continues to live, and all life on earth is basically just a hivemind in the sense that we're all only here to reproduce (unless you're smart enough to break that chain, but that's neither here nor there), so perhaps "true death" is the heat death of the universe

and if there's more than one universe, i have no idea what true death is

yo I just watched Coco too

coco was amazing especially since it's about my culture

anyways, the movie really did make me think too. i never knew my grandparents, they passed in 2007 but my mom would always tell stories of her childhood, and inevitably mention her parents too. just by the stories from my mom, i get to learn about a side of my family im very distant from, considering most of my family is in mexico.

while i dont know if i believe in afterlife, heaven, etc, i know that those direct memories for my mom, or indirect for me, will continue to resonate with us

hmm i went on a tangent there lol

I gotta say, the kids movies make you think now. Way better than the shit I grew up on. Used to be bright colors and thinly disguised Shakespear. Now? You gotta have a degree in philosophy to get it.

Anyways, the spirit of a person lives as long as the memory of the person. Whether or not you experience it first hand or if it’s just the subjective memory itself.

Make a difference. In any way.

man I can't fucking stand you

someone's grouchy this morning
