Hell on earth.
I am 21 years old, and therefore plan to live forever. But not a day goes by that I don't consider death. I would love to say that I am noble enough not to fear it, but I would be a dirty liar. Some days I am at peace with it, other days I don't like the idea. But there is one concept that I can peacefully accept - it is the only constant for all of humanity.
Because it is inevitable, I don't really care how it happens, or win. Not to say I don't want to live life - I do, very much so. But one way or another, I'll buy the whole farm, and I can life with that knowledge.
But there is one way I don't want to die - this way. When I was in HS, I read the most terrifying book I can remember (more than anything King has put out). It was called Alas, Babylon. It is a cheesy, goofy work. However, the chapter that describes the nuclear holocaust still scares me enough to make me queasy.
I used to live near DFW Airport, and would wake up in the morning hearing a plane fly overhead. On a few occasions, especially after reading the book (I have done so 3 times), I mistaked it for a sound I hope I never hear, the Bomb, and quickly rolled off and under my bed.
As a philosopher, I try to sit back and observe everything, logically and without bias. I do my best to do so with nukes as well, but I can honestly say - it is one tool I wish was never created.
