>its the fear of what death is.... (angst explains this)

angst is a synonym for fear... i don't get it.

can you explain how one can be secure with our "finiteness" when he believes in infinity?

its liek the one

if "how u feel" is referring to one's innate sense of "right" and "wrong", then you are talking about morality.

if u do blow

yeah, but what if I blow up the WORLD and no one is left? does it matter then that I blew up the world?

but the thing is

so by this argument, you have no morality... what's the point of doing right and wrong if there are no consequences? what's the point in activism if there is no outcome?

but i dont hink that that is neccicarily ture

you are missing my original question. if you do something that is innately, truly, right, where does this decision come from, and why do we have the choice?
