As rational beings, we hold a collective understanding of life. I came to my conclusion above using what was taught to me, using the knowledge that I have encountered. Now, basing my answer on the same understanding, “Will the process of death and decay carry on forever?”
At the level of the individual, it seems to me, it will not last forever.
I cannot remember a past life, nor can I foresee a future one. I know that my life, this specific episode of existence, is not forever so I assume non-existence is not forever as well. Since a single episode of life must end, why should death not be equal to this?
Under the greater perspective, however, death and decay may last forever. Just as life may last forever.Perhaps in cycles. I have not ceased to exist yet, so I’m sure my answer is inaccurate. Then again, my entire argument was based on knowledge from men who have not yet passed onto the great unknown either.
