No, I doubt that's true.

Or, only in the language of rhetoric...

Realistically, people do impact other people who impact other people...and so they do have an influence that goes beyond their own lifetime.

Don't confuse Diana with some hope that she will be remembered for any length of time following her death. Once the body is planted the memories quickly fade among even the closest friends and family members. Once the close friends and family members are planted, the memories die with them.

Soon enough all that will remain is some anonymous name on a tombstone which no one ever visits. People will step around it and they might even pause, but they not know and not care about the person whose dust lies beneath.

Without a doubt, Diana's body & memory are fated to die. Absolute nonexistence is her fate. Nothing at all will remain.

Love,

David Mathews

Oh, I'm not worried about confusing her. I was posting to you, not her.

I'm guessing that she's accepted nonexistence after death since that's what she believes lies ahead for her - and is determined to make the most of the life she knows she has.

I now see that that was a silly question of mine, because actually, I don't know whether you're being honest about being honest

I'd like to think so but who knows.

love
Helen

David: Spoken like a true Christian ...

Helen, are you certain that you are an honest person?

Anyhow, Helen, what did you do today?

Love,

David Mathews

Thank you

Helen, are you certain that you are an honest person?

You know I'm not certain...and you yourself wrote just moments ago

If you read my website tomorrow - and I remember to update it - you can read anything I'm willing to share over the Internet about what I did today.

love
Helen

Hello Helen,

How many hours a day do you spend on Internet Infidels?

If you ever demonstrate a need to know, I will discuss it with you.
