    It's such a hard concept to wrap ones mind around though, isn't it. Nothing, non existence.

I find that non-existence isn't hard to wrap my mind around in the slightest. What is mind-shatteringly stupefying to me is why anything exists at all. I've literally had to pull over to the side of the road while driving while pondering that before.

    but I hope you're wrong because I'd really like to keep on keepin' on with the same people I've been keepin on with.

I wish I was too but I'm not. Can be terribly painful for creatures with self-preservation instincts and surrounded by people/things they care about. Can also be much less painful with the right perspective and a commitment to not take it for granted while you're here.

Very glad to hear this. I've never fully understood why I -- specifically me -- exist, or why any of us exist in any sense. Why the fuck is life something that happens? Not just life, either, but space and stars and everything on down. No clue. Cosmic accident.
