Existential Angst

That’s certainly an interesting conversation to have with oneself. I’ve done the same myself a time or two.

I dislike labels so won’t go there, but here’s something that once struck me as something worth considering, God or not – ‘cuz I am a sciency kind of person myself.

I was watching old movies. I can even remember who the star was, but one of those old time movie stars. In the movie, the mother of his children dies. When they asked where she had gone, he took a pitcher of water and poured a little on the ground. He asked them if the water was gone once it left the vessel. It was not, it first transferred to the ground, then evaporated into the air. The children seemed comfortable with his explanation. In science, what exists does not cease to exist simply because it changes form. So, somewhere, in some form, the atoms that make you will always exist. Whether “you” ceases to exist once your atomic form changes is something I am still working on myself.

Comments welcomed.
