On Death (Briefly)



Recently, I found myself in the middle of a philosophical death debate with someone whom had lost a loved one.
Just like politics and religion, all interconnected, none of the subjects ever end with a clear and competent agreement.
What follows is just a collection of ideas.
Humans will never grasp the concept of infinity. Humans will never be able to appreciate infinity. Our nature is next, fast, and temporary. We learn to appreciate what little we can with the notion of loss.
A human is comprised of matter and energy. Neither of the two can ever be destroyed or created. We are merely a carrier of two beings of infinity. Why is it so hard to understand or appreciate two ideas that are body's are vessels for housing?
Does the after life contain just or energy or matter or both? Where does the matter and energy go on Earth when we die if it stays on this planet? Does it float into the ozone layer and come back down?
Are of the items of knowing finally given when we die?
Do our dead selves look down and whisper the secrets of the universe to our live loved ones?
If this universe was created several billion years ago, was there another universe before this one? Was the previous universe like ours now?
Are all the tools to answer the above questions swirling in my brain with the same information like a G chord or how to drive a car?
