Is death truly a curse? There is little logic in condemning something one has not experienced...or does not remember experiencing

Spock RIP

    Uh oh, I hadn't heard that news - really>he's - gone? Well - y'know.

    I was (WAS) too busy being afraid of it - well only when I thought of it - which isn't often but to even wonder if it's a curse. Not so much in recent times. Lost my only son 5 years ago - he was a young adult (23), and it's all I can think about...sigh.

    I don't think it's a curse at all now - just something we have to adjust to.

    It's not the event that's the problem it's the having to let go.

    My wife and I compared his loss to that of losing a cool Grandpa. We both grew up on a steady diet of Star Trek.

    I'm still on a steady diet of Star Trek. To a degree, mind you... No conventions or anything but I read about as much Star Trek as I do the dharma.

    Death? I don't remember anything before finding myself here and my daughter will probably forget by the time she's old enough for me to ask her.

    Even though I know I haven't, it feels like I've been here (as this person) forever. Like a goldfish swimming around its bowl for the first time, every time.

    When I pass on, I will probably forget I was here in the first place.

    To me, it doesn't seem logical to fear death even though every now and then I feel a touch of anxiety. I don't want my last moments to be spent in fear.

    So... I am going to aim. Not much to lose and nothing to gain.

    I think we are here to explore and have fun. Period. When these are not options, I feel we must help one another until they are.

    In memoriam, I watched Star Trek: Into Darkness for the first time. Now I really need to track down Wrath of Khan and watch it again. He will be missed.

    Hi @yildun,

    More an inevitability. 'I am Sparticus' . . . Eh . . . Leonard Nimoy . . . Spock lives!

    Death the Final Frontier
    These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise.
    Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilization, to boldly go where no one has gone before.
