This has been something that has profoundly troubled me. Just knowing that I will die, that there is nothing I can do about it, that eventually my mind will cease to function, that every trace of me will eventually be non-existent.

I comfort myself about my impending death knowing that the sun will go supernova in 5 billion years, destroying the Earth in the process and rendering every trace of everyone that has ever lived as non-existent, and yet at the same time, every mistake that everyone has every made will also be made non-existent.

Well then...
