I'm not interested in the opinion of those who are convinced of an afterlife. I mean no disrespect by that, but I am interested in hearing the opinion of people who suspect that death is the end of sentience. To me, the fear isn't from pain or suffering after one dies, because that would be irrational. My fear is non-being, that is, this world, which is known through me, will end forever. Some people compare this to sleep, but sleep is partly dreams, and the sleeper is generally convinced after his rest that he/she will awake. My fear is the idea of never awaking again. What are your thoughts?
