Assignment 6-TD

What was your childhood like?
Where do you see yourself in 10 years?
What makes you afraid?

What makes me afraid is the thought of my own mortality. I am not in constant fear of this though. I will be completely fine and it will suddenly dawn on me that I will die and everything I have done will account for nothing. Lately I have comforted myself with sleep. My want for sleep has increased quite a bit lately. I envision death to be a sleep, an eternal sleep. The universe has gone on for fourteen billion years, and it will be completely fine after I no longer stand here. Actually, it might not be fine but that is way too far off to care about. I will say that I am Tibetan Buddhist and do not believe in God. Thus, that gives me my views on the afterlife. As I say that though, I know that probably all of you have misconceptions about Buddhism's views on the afterlife, that I believe I will be reborn as a worm if I do bad or something. I don't want to explain it, but I will say that even with religion, my fears of my mortality are not extinguished.
