everyone dies someday.

this is a statement i am writing down that i either know or think is true. examine the foundation of the statement...

it presupposes that everyone exists. it presupposes that time exists. does time exist? what are the methods we use to verify the existence of something? sensory experience of a thing? most of the time we don't know something exists, we simply believe it does based on what everyone else said.

what is it to die? to become non-responsive? are we alive? when you die, what is dying? what am i? am i? take away my perception/experience of reality and my ability to communicate--do i still exist?

what is reality? i have no idea what reality is. i don't even know if i have the capacity to care what reality is. as far as i'm concerned it's just another arbitrary, made-up word. i don't think i could possibly care to wonder any more than that. back to the original statement...

everyone dies someday.

do i think that this statement is true? honestly, on an instinctual level, i suppose i believe this is true; i believe that i am going to die someday. why? it is a societal belief that i have learned and integrated into my self. it seems so obvious, i don't know how i can possibly ever rid myself of it. how can i know for sure that one day i am going to die? i can't, i just can't. the only way to prove it would be to try and kill myself.

i think the point is, i can't know, so why think about it? if i die, i still won't be proving anything to my self; there will be no self to prove anything to. i can logically sit here and say that there is no way i can know for sure whether i am going to die one day or not, but for some reason, i still believe that i will...

everyone dies someday.

i'm at a loss at this point; this statement is confusing and i don't know what to think of it.
