We have a lot of misconceptions about death. Death is not a thing or a state. Subjectively there is no death, only anticipation. Death is something that always exists in our future, never in our present. For the subject, death does not exist.
Similarly there never was a time when we were waiting to be conceived.
Even from the outside, although the death of another is an event, it is a process not a state. My grandparents do not continue to exist in a dead state. They no longer exist.
Very elegantly put, Mumeishi. I admire your post here, and just wish to draw attention to it again, since it deals with an issue that needn't be an issue at all, and tackles this with...well, with an elegance that is to be admired. Kudos.
