Yiran Ma Week 2


After reading the near-death cases, I have some comment want to share. First, the earth went through billions of years before we were born. How did we feel during those billions of years? We don't know anything. There is no loneliness and long darkness. So, I think that's what it feels like after you die, no matter how long you live after you die. Second, what if someone could live forever? If he lived for a hundred years he might want to live again. If he lived for ten thousand years or even hundreds of thousands of years, would he feel lonely for this state of being unchanged? If let a person live forever is also a kind of suffering, can we face death peacefully? Third, the world is changing, nothing is unchanged, based on this, I think the state of death will not last forever. Fourth, there is another explanation. I think people's self-consciousness itself is an illusion. It's a continuation of memory, where one second you have a sense of your own existence, and the next second that sense is dead, and a new sense is born. That's why one second you're a good guy and the next you're so bad that you don't even know yourself. I hope that people can reduce their fear of death, and that they can live well once they have lived in the world. They can face it when they die, because this is just a process that all living things have to go through.
Question: If a pregnant woman dies, will the baby leave with his/her mother as a whole, or two different individuals?
