nihilism

I always wondered what happened in the moments that come after realizing that you will die. I personally, began to read philosophy, and that event of realization was, in retrospect, the most important thought to ever cross my mind. It sparked a deep and inspirational curiosity in me. Some times people recognize the thought, accept it, and move on; instead of a philosophical pursuit, they are motivated to achieve tangible goals, start a business, or perhaps a family.
