thoughts on death... revisited
Zen master Shunryu Suzuki Roshi once said, "You will always exist in the universe in one form or another." For an existentialist, this is easy to understand without having to resort to things like reincarnation, a soul that survives death, or any other similarly related supernatural idea.
I accept the fact that I will return my constituent parts back to nature and possibly provide some nutrients for other living things. Heaven knows I've taken a lot from other living things to sustain this body during my lifetime. So it seems like it's only fair.
