Where do people go when they die? Maybe to where the babies come from? I really don't believe this, just random musing my restless mind..........................

Maybe the difference in mental state between an unborn baby and a newborn baby is analogous to the difference in mental state between a nearly dead person and a just-dead person. I don’t really believe this either (though I seriously considered it one beautiful but oddly gloomy summer afternoon 21 years ago), just musing…

I wish I had been alive 21 years so I could say that

. It's been about 7 years since I thought about that... Yes, I was about ten

I probably shouldn't have posted the question after this one

. I was seriously wondering about this

Reflecting on the passage of time, as one gets older time seems to speed up. I've often wondered if this is only a preception or is the interval actually shrinking between events. In actuality, this is most likely the result of the mind not focusing on, or noticing as many events passing, giving the illusion that time is passing more rapidly. As a 63 year old male, this decrease in mental awareness is a little frightening at tmes, and at other times, unusally relaxing. Just think young people, what maybe lying instore for you as time eats away at your brain?
