...because without the "other" you were never yourself...
...we are "travellers"...dying is travelling into the "other"...
(besides round and round we go and we will end up repeating anyway)
Has anyone shown concern about your utter fascination with death? Do you happen to be a person of the uberangst-filled and depressed emo persuasion (which to be fair is really really redundant if you ask me)?
You have written at least 8 threads tagged with the subject.
No...you will end up the "other" for real...a rock an apple a tree...not "you" any more !
..."you" will statistically repeat, but you won´t remember it, "you" will be the "other" even then ...and yet the entire Universe will statistically repeat...
...old wise people spend most of the day playing the "other" in their minds...with children, with nature, with a leave in their hands...
...around that age they stop judging, and eventually, they stop being (the "I") and die !...
Join the club, I don't know why I am either, I just am, until I'm not, then I won't be.

@hamilton,
When the kidnappers demand you eat the brussel sprouts.
There is no set point for most. What there is for some (many?) is reaching a time of acceptance that life can end at any time and that to some degree that's okay. Sure there'll be things in the future which won't be experienced; but, hey, it's all good because there are so many things which were experienced just by having had the brief encounter with this thing called life.
I saw a wonderful documentary on the career of Woody Allen. At one point he was asked in a formal setting his views on mortality and death. His answer was that he continues to be opposed to it.
