Man upplever inte alltid drömmar. Ibland finns det inget där. Jag vill påstå att döden är något annat då vi är programmerade till att vara rädda för den. Jag upprätthåller min tanke om att döden är en känsla. Kort sagt.
Här citeras Emil Cioran. En filosof som var besatt av problemet med döden.
I'm not talking here of the spiritual calm and empty solemnity of so-called serious people but of a mad tension that puts every moment of your life on the plane of eternity. This profound seriousness cannot be achieved by confronting purely formal problems, no matter how difficult, because they are gen- erated exclusively by our intelligence, not by the total organic structure of our being. Only the organic and existential thinker is capable of this kind of seriousness, because truth for him is alive, born from inner agony and organic disorder rather than useless speculation
Death is not something from outside, ontologically different from life, because there is no death independent of life. To step into death does not mean, as commonly believed, especially by Christians, to draw one's last breath and to pass into a region qualitatively different from life. It means, rather, to discover in the course of life the way toward death and to find in life's vital signs the imma- nent abyss of death. For Christianity and other metaphysical be- liefs in immortality, the passing into death is a triumph, an opening toward other regions metaphysically different from life. Contrary to such visions, the true sense of agony seems to me to lie in the revelation of death's immanence in life. But why is the experience of agony so rare? Can it be that our hypothesis is en- tirely false and that sketching a metaphysics of death is possible only by accepting death's transcendental nature? Healthy, normal, mediocre people cannot experience either agony or death. They live as if life had a definitive character. It is an integral part of normal people's superficial equilibrium to take life as absolutely independent from death and to objectify death as a reality transcending life. That's why they perceive death as coming from the outside, not as an inner fatality of life itself
