Well, I don't believe, I'm gonna get really spiritual with you. I don't believe our soul dies. I think our soul carries on and our soul through many lifetimes, including what we leave behind and the memories, we're sort of always contributing and always growing and always facing new challenges and elevating and maybe a soul level, but our body dies, our presence on this earth dies.

But I think our soul does. Are you scared of that? No. You can't have light without darkness. And you can't have life without death. If you would never die, then that means you're never willing to die for something. And that means you don't have a life of meaning.
