Post Life Syndrome

A thought-provoking slant on the big theme...can't help thinking that transformatiion back to pure energy and matter is a comfortless reduction...I guess there's the genetic afterlife if you've fathered/mothered children (but again no survival of your consciousness as such). It's interesting to think that what may survive of us is that Larkinesque residual love...all those non-material abstractions of feelings and values and ideas shaping directly or indirectly those we've affected...memories, knowledge and behaviours of the living shaped by the dead.....Ah the joys of mortality!....Rgds., Alan.
