The invisibility of existance.
Have you ever really thought, "How would the world change if I was not here tomorrow"?
If you think about it, the fact that astounds me is just this....Nothing would change.
Sure, a few people would cry, and even fewer would grieve for a long time, but really, in the grand scheme of things, nothing would change. The sun would still rise, the work day would still go on, and your friends and family would adjust, and continue. I guess that is where religion comes in to play. The moment you realize you are not as important as you think you might be. You really need to cling to the fact that there is more to life on earth, then just this. If there is no afterlife, and everything just fades to black, our daily interactions become more important. The minutes we spend hiding, sleeping, not engaging with others, are moments lost, and never to be found again. If you are a believer in the afterlife, you have nothing to worry about. You can continue your life on earth acting as though your interactions are inconsequential, and that if tomorrow doesn't come, you have the afterlife to make things up to the ones you love. The fact of the matter might just be, that you need to spend the time with the important people now, because when the curtain falls on your futile life, you may have nothing left to offer anyone.
Nevermind the fact, that if there is a heaven, there has to be an awful lot of mosquitos there.
