The 4 stories we tell ourselves about death

[eliasfrost]

I personally think that living on in the thoughts of others, or in the history of a nation, culture, family etc; if only for just a short period of time, is in a sense an extention of your existence, though not physical but in memory and emotional. I consider a person's legacy to be the only true extension of ones self yet conceived.

That said, leaving anything behind could be thought as an extension of your existence, or at least the remnant of it which evokes the memory of you once existing, you know.

These kind of things are floaty.
