Just what is an end? It's a boundary, as ajenteks said. One's life is on the "earlier" side and not the "later" side of the boundary in question. The part of me at the moment I retire to darkness no more erases the part that's now typing than the outer surface of my meat puppet erases the flesh and bone within. That's only the boundary of the living part of me, though. I don't define myself entirely within a single moment, place, or state-such as living, so I don't consider death to be a loss of self. It's just a boundary between different times and states that are part of me, as my current state and spacetime placement is part of me.
This is forumrunner, signing off with love.
Edit: If you delete this for being dangerous, I understand now. I might not later, but I do now at least...
