Almost any horrible way you can think of to die has probably happened to someone.
We don’t really know why our universe came into existence or if there are more universes and we will most likely never know. But one out of two things about reality has to be true.
1: Matter and reality in some form has always existed as some latent quality of ‘nothingness’ without EVER having a beginning. It has always just existed for infinity.
2: Matter came into existence spontaneously out of nothing, for no reason and without any catalyst. It just decided to start existing at a random point in infinity.
Either way, it makes no fucking sense to our brains and it sounds like something you’d read about in a Lovecraft novel, and yet one of these two concepts is as real as you and I. It’s both fascinating and deeply disturbing.
A number of people are mauled to death by packs of dogs, and I doubt that any of them, at any time in their lives, considered that they might die that way.
There are probably thousands of cults in existence.
If scientists discovered what really happens when we die it wouldn’t become common knowledge.
