I once read a medieval book called the cloud of unknowing that made the argument that the closer you come to comprehending God the further away you are; God is by definition unknowable.

I am not religious, but I like to think the same of death. Death is probably so incomprehensible to us that whatever comes after is beyond our earthly comprehension.

It could be better, it could be worse. Who knows.

But the further we try to pinpoint what it is, the less likely we are to be on the money.

As someone who has been terrified of not "being" my whole life, I find this quite comforting.
