Something to think about

The secrets that death holds will never be known by the living.

And why should they be?

When we are born we have no memory of where we came from. Everything in a newborn's universe is brand spanking new to that unique life.

However, looked at from another perspective, all the atoms which comprise that new life are atoms that have been in existence since shortly after the Big Bang. In other words, every life is composed of component parts that are eternal; from bits
and pieces that have been around for as long as the universe itself.


So when we die our eternal atoms get recycled. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. The slate gets wiped clean.

And why shouldn't it be?
