What I have learned from this is that we are pretty similar. Granted I don't take drugs of any sort, our thoughts on the body as prison/burden are similiar. Where we differ is our view on afterlife. For you, the uncertainty is unbearable and that there might be nothing scares you. I, however, know what comes for me and the thought of an eternal life running through the same circle with some variations is what scares me the most. The sheer absolute knowledge that there will be no end ever is terrifying. Not now and not in the near future, but at one point I just want to sleep. Sleep deep and don't wake up. A peaceful thought.

Well, the reason I don't want my existence to end is because I fear that I will never be satisfied with it.
