Oh yes I wish. The alternative seems to be a terrible thing. I've spent my entire existence...existing. Death is probably the abrupt end to all that I know and feel, with nothing on the other side. I cannot embrace something that my gut tells me is the complete and utter end of consciousness. Nothing recognizable will be passed on, and I can't imagine existing in a state of nonexistence. It's unknown because in death the mechanisms that you use to "know" anything cease functioning.
The worst part is knowing that it WILL happen. Untold billions have faced it before me, so there is no reason to believe that I will escape it. In my own personal moment, whether it's due to old age, injury, or sickness, I'll be there when the lights finally go out. As the last synapse fires I will disappear from all of existence forever.
If this very concept doesn't scare the fvck out of you then I think you haven't thought about it enough.
