when I die I will not exist. In other people's minds I might and in photos, but not the actual me. My body would be broken down and subsumed by the earth and sky, the material part of me would still exist somewhere, though would take on other shapes and forms. The person me, as a breathing living moving agent would cease to exist.

By that rationale, I'm curious about your thoughts on death, when something ceases to be. Does that mean death does not exist?

Are you deliberately just being silly?
Or are you simply asking a stupid question because you know no better.
You might ask what colour is darkness.
Or what is the sound of ambition.

Kinda. I just want to know what this guy will say. It seems consistant with the rest of his thinking, doesn't it?
