One of the things that bothers me the most about death is that once I take my last breath, my consciousness will evaporate, and so I won't be able to get even a tiny bit of satisfaction out of the knowledge that I am no longer a prisoner of my existence.
I so, so, so badly want to taste the liberation from pain and be able to say to myself: You are free. All you have endured has come to an end. You can feel completely happy and safe knowing there will be no more tomorrows.
Isn't it the ultimate irony? I'll die but I won't know it.
"Yes, death. Death must be so beautiful. To lie in the soft brown earth, with the grasses waving above one's head, and listen to silence. To have no yesterday, and no to-morrow. To forget time, to forget life, to be at peace."
The one and only Oscar Wilde
