  1. What is it about the end of life that makes us all look into our hearts and minds and soul at the same time? Have you noticed that thinking about one's final minutes----and what I have sometimes pondered on----my last dying breath, does to your state of mind? It shows you what it is going to be like. We are all going to experience it and this frightens me more than anything. Imagine, you and I are breathing away, filling our lungs and blowing out stale air, but one fine moment there will be one final expiration: our last breath of life will leave us to join all the others last breath which leave them and join the atmosphere of the world. As someone who has questioned religion from the first memories of thinking about it, I have to admit there comes out of me a sort of admission or words to... I will say it... God. Then and there I realize that something wants me to believe there is a presence, a creator, but I will never give in for long, because I feel that God is within us as something every person imagines in their own way. Death is the same. Death is something every single person imagines in their own way and that is what makes us all look bewildered when someone talks about their idea of death, because it rarely resembles our own. The key to all of this is what I have come to say are the last words I say to myself before I go into that place, we call dreamland. If you can say that you are happy with yourself before you go to sleep, then that is all you need to know to realize that you have succeeded in finding your purpose here on earth and if your final breath comes in the dead of night, you will know in your mind that your life was lived well and you can die in peace.
