"We all die, the goal is not to live forever; the goal is to create something that will." -Chuck Palahniuk

Sometimes I panic thinking about the death of my parents or siblings.  I can't live without them, this world will SUCK if they aren't in it.  They really are a phenomenal contribution to the human species, all four of them.  For some reason I don't worry about my own death, I find comfort in it really.  Maybe it's because I work hard each and every day I try to grow as a person whether it be emotionally mentally spiritually or physically I try to do something productive each day.  Aside from that I consider myself to be a good person, nice to others, and honest.  So if I was to die I'd die comfortably knowing I did my best on this planet and now its time to rest.  I don't believe in heaven, or an after life of any sort.  I am happy about that though, until I think about my loved ones and that is when I understand why religion has made "heaven" to soothe the souls of mourners.  All we can really do here though, is create something that will stay behind when we cease.  In my parents case, they left their awesome genes behind, they make some amazing babies!  They raised us right, and each of us are really motivated to make a difference in this world.  My parents have succeeded and they too are still striving each day to reach new heights.  In my case..I want to travel, builds schools and libraries, publish books on other cultures, spread knowledge and maybe inspire peace.   On top of that, I want to publish my family's story.
