Absolutely agree. I've had a great life, too. Enjoyed it for the most part and successfully accomplished things I never dreamed as a boy I'd do. Like you, I'm happy and content to go onto life's next great mystery.
Oh, man... I sure as shit hope there's no afterlife. I don't see any evidence to suggest there is one, but damned is it going to suck for me if there is. The closest I come to believe in an afterlife is that my atoms will be used again, perhaps in new life. They may eventually become parts of another star, and that's pretty awesome - though I'm pretty sure I'll be completely disassociated with 'em, 'cause I'm dead.
LOL - I never think of afterlives so to speak either. I do like the star idea though ... I could be one of the thousand points of light.
Yeah, we're seemingly made up of bits of matter from a once exploded star - and maybe a few bits made in the big bang. It's pretty fascinating stuff.
I like to think about matter and how it always wiggles. Matter is always in motion, 'cause E=MC2 and matter has energy thus it must also have mass and movement. (Well, until you get to itty-bitty stuff but that seems to usually have at least some mass and motion.)
So, my atoms have been dancing for eons and will continue to dance and wiggle until the end of the universe. Matter loves to wiggle.
Oh, have you seen the project COF and I are working on? https://musicfor.us
I'm biased, but it's pretty damned awesome.
