My question was if you die you exist only as a memory, what happens when the bearer of that memory also dies? Will you cease to exist? Would it be like you never were here at all?
This question is also related to what is the purpose? Why are we hear? Everyone has a path in life that they choose in some sense of the word. We accomplish many things during our lives and meet and get to know a lot of people. In the movie It's a Wonderful Life, they show what happens when someone is never born however, what happens after we live our life and die. This world mourns for us temporarily but we are really insignificant. We are one person of seven billion on one planet of eight in one star system out of one hundred billion and one galaxy out of one hundred billion. So if we think of the universe as a whole, one person barely matters. Even the people who live on through books ect. after they die, barely even scratch the surface of the universe. This however is what makes humans so amazing. We know we are so small compared to the universe yet we try and make a difference. We don't care whether we will be remembered for ever, we still live life to the fullest. Because of this fact I think we continue to exist even after we and everyone who ever knew us or about us is gone as well.
