No worries.
I don't see death as a depressing thing either. What a coincidence! My take is a little different (well, a lot different) than the traditional Muslim belief though. I don't really believe in death. Nor birth for that matter. I mean, I was never really born. I was a foetus, which was an embryo, which was an egg, which was created when my mother was a foetus, etc. So when I die, I won't really die. I will rot and become eaten by worms and such, thus feeding them and giving them strength to make new life, which will repeate until the United States destroys the earth with nuclear weapons ;-)
Ok, so the United States thing was a joke (a dark joke at that), but the rest is basically true. It's a very buddhist perspective.
If someone wouldn't mind, could you explain (in stupid American speak) the fundamental Muslim belief in death? Or provide me with a link if the basics have already been covered on thie forum? Jolly good then. Cheerio!
