I keep thinking, what if we don’t just end? What if we’re more like energy, changing form but never actually gone?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eIt attempts to show life and death as part of the same thing, not opposites but more like a continuous process of transformation. Like a free electron jumping between states, never sitting still. We’re here, and then we become something else. Even while we’re alive, our thoughts are electrical impulses, little sparks firing through our brains. When we die, does that electricity just stop? Or does it keep moving like those free electrons? Maybe we’re not separate from all this, just expressions of it, like waves in an ocean, temporary patterns in something much bigger, like samsara, that endless cycle of becoming. Scientists say energy can’t be destroyed, only transformed. So what about us?\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eI honestly don’t know, and maybe we can’t know.
