Hanni has been okay for quite a long time with the idea that when we die, our bodies become part of the earth, and our minds just stop existing.
I almost think this is the most peaceful ending... to just... stop. Like a slowly falling leaf that's landed on the grass.
It's hard to wrap my head around. What would that be like? To just
no longer exist. It's interesting, isn't it? Our brains are centres of chemical/electrical activity that can certainly be shut off, but our consciousness too? Unless that's just part of the chemicals and electricity. I don't blame my former co-worker for being curious. I guess we won't know until it happens.
