How to deal with death? I think about death a lot. Not my own death but the death of the ones that are close to me. No one I know has ever died and I hope it stays that way for a long time. But the question remains. How will I react to the death of someone that's close to me?

I've been reading a book that tries to sum up the history of physics until now, and the author (Basarab Nicolescu) at some point says it's possible that our existence as a species is just a chain of coincidences some of them still unknown to science but none the less coincidences. If this is true then our existence begins with our birth and ends with our death, no life after death, no re-incarnation… just the end.

I don't have any formed opinion. Some say that not having an opinion, is believing in something… and in a way that's true, I believe in something… I believe that I as a human being born in the late XX century, and that my species at this time of evolution haven't got the capacity of understanding the questions that involve everything that has to do with the conscience and the soul… but I also believe that all the religions I know just present dogmas about those questions… and no real answers.
