Can I please hear your explanation of these quotes - what YOU think they mean.

"Confession of errors is like a broom which sweeps away the dirt and leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession."

"Culture of the mind must be subservient to the heart."

"Fear has its use but cowardice has none."

"Glory lies in the attempt to reach one’s goal and not in reaching it."

Even if you just know one, I’d appreciate it.

Before judging me, please read my entire question and only respond if you can try to help.

I am 28 years old, just got a new job on a cruise line and am starting the new point of my life. Yet for the past few years, all I can think about is what happens after death. It scares me to oblivion. Every night before bed I sit contemplating what it will FEEL like to be dead. It scares the hell out of me. I cannot stop thinking about it. I will put on an I Love Lucy episode, watch the black-and-white screen before me, and mumble "My God, when I’m dead I will never get to watch this stuff again. It will be nothing." I have been working at a science museum for the past 4 years, and have visited these boards enough to realize there is most likely nothing after death. And the cold hearted Atheists I talk to who have the whole "death, deal with it" attitude don’t help. According to them, when the brain dies, you die. That’s it. They refuse to address consciousness or why we could possibly have a soul. They just say there’s no proof- and it scares me. I am starting to think they are right. So please read my points and help me-

1) I want to think there IS something after death, because how is death the end? The universe is endless. Space never ends, just keeps going. So how do we just stop? Wouldn’t it make sense that we just keep going, even if its in a different dimension or parallel? Energy cannot be created or destroyed, just changed. So am I to hope maybe consciousness is a form of energy? What makes ME me? How do I know I’m me and not anyone else?

2) What makes me not believe in life after death is the fragility of it. Its so easy to kill myself. I can easily drink some bleach right now and die, or choke on a carrot, or slit my wrists. If its so easy to die, why is life so damn complicated? Why can man create all these amazing things with technology, movies, art, ideals- yet we’re easily just slabs of meat in bones with electricity going through us? It makes me think this is just easy.

3) I would want to believe in God, but many religions point to the blue sky as heaven. We know thats false. Outerspace is whats beyond the sky, not heaven. We have PROOF of this. And of everyone who has died, no one has come back. Not one. What is this telling us? That either a) death is the end, or b) everyone who dies goes to another universe. I’m starting to fear its A. And that is too ******* scary.

4) Could life itself be a dream? Could all this be an illusion? I wish every day I could just live in a time warp. Similar to "Groundhog Day", but instead I could live in a 30 year warp, and be able to rewind, fast forward, and do what I want. I would never bore of food or sex. Ever. And that way I could do what I wanted, and just go on without a stop point.

5) As we get older, does the fear of death go away? Or does the fear simmer down as we keep losing loved ones, like parents and friends? I would like to think that since death is a part of life’s cycle, it won’t be as bad as I think.

I apologize for rambling on, please help me. Respond to my points, or give me advice on what to do to get over the fear.

PS- No Bible quotes please. I want realism.
To Leonard: You’re a real prick, aren’t you? If you’re going to come at me with a very harsh, "death deal with it" attitude when I MADE IT VERY CLEAR I don’t like that, I advise you to watch it! Sorry, but regardless of your idea that we’re just sparks in the universe, humans have something called Compassion! Explain that? Why do we (and other animals for that matter) get sad when those around us die? That has nothing to do with experiences. It has to do with us having actual souls. I just wanted insight as to why I’m afraid to die, and you came in and RUINED it by being a jerk!
