Re: Is Nothing Possible?
 

every once in a while throughout my 18 short years on this earth, probably about 5 or 6 times a year, while in deep thought I suddenly get an instant of imagining the NOTHING that i believe you are referring to, and it brings out the best feeling I've ever experienced so I hope that it is possible...I suppose that death is essentially this..so I'll finally get to experience that thought forever without having to suddenly be forcefully thrown back into a realization of the true world again...What a way to go out.

Re: Is Nothing Possible?
 

Nothing may be possible, but it is impossible to experience it.

Think about that. That is the great paradox of death. Kierkegaard wrote about it when he said that suicide is the desire to experience nothingness; but since death is the loss of consciousness, we cannot consciously experience it, and therefore the act is futile.
