  • Question for BocaBaconBurger

    Interesting about your near-death experience. I have heard similar reports from people (tv,news,web and even a friends girlfriend).

    It's nice you could take this experience and make it meaningful. It seems that most people come out of it with a sense of calm and loss of fear of death.

    My question is, you use the word "soul". What do you consider your "soul"? What constitues it? Is it youre likes and dislikes?

    Does your soul look like you? Talk like you? Does it like certain TV shows? Hate Peanut Butter?

    This is a serious inquiry. I find it interesting when people use the term "soul".

    If you think your soul will last forever, what exactly is it that lasts forever?

    What makes you "you"?
