Spirits living forever especially those infesting other minds - new or not - reminds me of stories by H.P. Lovecraft.

By far the best thing about being dead is that time has released you from any further consequences.

Yes, I sometimes marvel at how dead people whose memories I respect know nothing about this pandemic, or the present strength of electronic communications, or changes among the more trivial moral tenets, or the imminent death of our natural environment. And still I look to what these people would have said about these novel developments.

Nothing that they would have said had they still been living.

No its not! For many if not most, it's misery from first to last where oblivion is a holiday which never ends.

Lighten up. It was sarcasm.

Surely you've met people who are oblivious to almost everything, though.

Just for the record, if your life is miserable, it's your own damn fault.

You don't have the talent for it; I'm sorry for taking you seriously.

Too generic! Everything is relative.

...just for the record, sometimes I'm miserable and sometimes I'm not. Only idiots are happy all the time.
