BEFORE READING THIS: Please note that I am not discrediting god in any way shape or form, I am simply putting this 'death' into terms.
　
When you think of something dying, you think of it withering away and being non-existant. But what really is dying?
Everything in existance is a cycle. As time passes by and time grows older - so does matter. One thing i've noticed though, is that nothing really ever 'dies'. Take living creatures for example. When we die, we become a nutrient to something else. Whether that be another organism, or fertilizer for the ground to create something new again; such as a plant, a mineral, or even a new organism!
Why do I say new organism? Well, lets say we die and our bodies deteriorate and fertilize the earth, creating a plant. A creature eats the plant, and it keeps the creature alive by metabolizing the nutrients it got from the plant. Even the fecal matter/waste produced by an organism isn't just waste, it has a purpose to. Fertilization. So in reality, we are all connected, we are all a part of each other. There is no diffferent species really, there is no different anything. We are simply one with another.
Most things are made of organic material. One organism, living or non-living, fed off of another organism to survive. In turn that organism gave nutrients to the living somehow, whether that being food for another predator, or simply dying and replenishing the earth. But nobody can deny this evidence, not only does it agree with the laws of physics but it's just common sense for any intelligent person who wants to sit down and think about the cycle of life and evolution.
You could even take the sun for example. It goes through a process, it might be a very long one, but eventually it dies. But when it finally blasts into a supernova, throwing back out minerals into space, the minerals are used to create new galaxies and such. Just like Newton's law, matter is never created or destroyed.
Well, I think that I need to add something to that quote. Matter is never created or destroyed, it is simply recycled.
Of course though, that always leaves questions like If matter is never created, and is always recycled, well then how did it come to be created in the first place? That's where god comes into plan.
So what happens when we 'die'?
Do we return in another form?
I don't believe that ourselves truly do. Instead, we return in many different forms. It's like, all of the matter and materials that as once us will eventually be given back to the earth are used to create other things. So in a sense, we are reborn, just not the way people really think. Part of us could be a fish, while another part could be a tree, or the plastic my laptop was made of(despite the fact that some plastic is synthetic people forget that synthetic materials aren't actually created from scratch, but just natural elements mixed and thrown together creating a new, man-made substance) There's an infinate amount of possibilities.
Of course we won't know who/what we were before, but a part of us will always become a part of something else in the future. I don't believe in reincarnation, because when we are 'reborn' we aren't reborn into another body/animal/plant completely. Let's say our bodies would represent a full, 100% circle graph. When we die it's broken down into abobut 100 different percentages/pieces, and those pieces are connected with other pieces to create new life. So actually we're 'reborn' several times into many different forms, as our nutrients are seperated. And other forms of life come together with those individual pieces until it makes the circle graph, an organism, full again.
Since the dawn of time mankind has searched for the clues to eternal life, and I have one simple answer. There is no such thing as eternal life, but life IS eternal. We all actually do live forever, we're just recycled and made into new things, sort of like recycling aluminum.. i guess you could say. Haha.
So my answer to "What really is dying?" is simply: The only thing non-existant about dying is death itself. Truly we all really do live forever.
Speaking of all this though, i mean it completely in the physical sense. It might seem hypocritical to say this, but once again, Answering this raises so many more questions than the question itself, and but once again some questions can never be answered.
