Writer's Block: Above and beyond

[Error: unknown template qotd]
There is no after you die.  While I accept that energy can be neither created nor destroyed, so there is a theoretical possibility of some our brains' neuro-electrical impulses surviving after death, I have no real belief in any sort of afterlife.

I assume that when I die, people will mourn, my body will be cremated and all that will be left of me and everything I was is whatever I managed to do before death.  If that's not an incentive to be a good, moral, and decent person, I don't know what is.

After I die, I won't care what happens because I'll be dead.  The thinking mind cannot conceive of the unthinking mind, but having been under anesthesia with no dreams and no consciousness, I feel as though I have a fairly decent idea of what 'death' will be like.  

Unthinking, unknowing, nothingness. 

Have a nice day.
