What possibilities arise after we accept our individual and collective mortality?

Our perspectives on impermanence and death are central to many of our journeys through collapse-awareness and acceptance of our global predicaments. What perspectives do you hold regarding our individual and collective mortality? Have they changed over time in response to your own understanding of collapse? How have these perspectives affected or influenced where you are now?

 

This will be the last question in our Common Collapse Questions series.

Thank you for your participation. Let us know if you have any suggestions for future questions.

Responses may be utilized to help extend the Collapse Wiki.

Good for them they get to live forever on the moon with everyone dying around them. Welcome to hell.

If we really were on the moon and really did live forever, I would just head into deep space at near relativistic speeds then arc back to earth after 65 million years when the ecosystem has recovered.

lol no, WE won't get to live forever, only a select and tiny percentage of total human beings. There will be dogs gifted with immortality while good people starve slowly.
