Yeah. I don't have a problem with knowing I'm going to die. I
figure I've got 'til 84-88, maybe less, unlikely more. So, to
you, death is the only potential freedom? For me, I suppose,
imagination fits that slot for me. I got no limits there. Here
in this weird world we live in, there's annoying things like
cooperation and stuff. == I don't mind that I'm going to die one
day but to me it's a game-over situation. I enjoy being alive
and being here. Not everything in it - there's a lot of shit in
life. But I kinda see it from an absurd point of view: look how
silly people get, worked up over things when they're just gonna
die anyway. Look how ridiculous wars are, political power -
heck, any kind of people shooting for power over others. What
are they doing it for? Silly really. So, I do a lot of laughing
at the seriousness ppl take live with. At the same time, since
this *is* my one-shot, I'm going to learn as much as I can, help
as many ppl as I can, put myself "out there" so little pieces of
me are left behind randomly. So perhaps our philosophies aren't
so far off. We're both death-oriented except perhaps I'm
enjoying my shot here a little more. == I could be a martyr -
it'd have to be a damn good cause. There's only a few things
that really 'grab' me enough that I'd want to be a martyr for
and even THEN, I'm not sure if I'd want to. I like sitting on my
back porch on my ugly yellow chair sitting on the Internet
talking about philosophy or whatever. But if a cause really got
me down to the core, I could do it. Well, I hope you find a
cause worth fighting for, although I also hope you don't die
from it right away. There's a lot of information gathering and
distribution you can do before then. ==
