[RPKESQ]

Death holds no surprises for me.
When I die I will almost immediately start giving my atoms back to the universe for a myriad of purposes. My atoms will return to the cosmos from whence they came. I am part of everything. I am made from the same elements shared with the stars, planets, seas, atmosphere, earth, animals, and plants. In fact all living and non-living things. I am one with the Universe.

All will partake from my body. All will use my atoms for their purpose and needs. As I am connected to all, all is connected to me. I really am just a receptacle for these atoms to gather for a while.

Some will say that is a meaningless life or a life of no purpose; But what higher purpose for the physical essence of me than to be part of all and to support all?

My life's meaning is simple to me. I gather knowledge and wisdom and I disseminate knowledge and wisdom. I support others and I am supported by others. I take care of all I can in such a short time. All mankind is my family and my charge. Any abilities or power I have is used to help others. How could my life have more meaning?

Pain when dying is never pleasant, I suppose. But pain is not something you can really exclude from your life. So I accept it.
Dottore, your Father mastered his fate with great effort. That is a reflection of his understanding of life. I salute him.

I alone am master of my fate. I would not have it any other way.
