But at the end of the day, what is life and death anyway? Merely a self repeating pattern of some atoms...maybe consciousness is just a collection of concepts which our brain uses to reinforce its self identity? Maybe consciousness is just as valid as religion and our existence really holds as much meaning as the existence of a tree in an infinite universe? and considering the fact that the majority of people would value a nice diamond more over a tree, a well sculpted rock might just have more meaning than "life" itself.

maybe intellect,in itself, is merely a small bump in the fractal nature of the universe itself, after all...there is a universe in everything and nothing is everything.

Only with that in mind before i die, would i upload my mind...




To see a World in a Grain of Sand

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand

And Eternity in an hour.

William Blake
