In the end we eventually turn back to star dust as the sun consumes the Earth. Dying is just a fact of life with our current technology, I don't claim the same for future generations though. My atoms in the end will be spread across the Earth, breathed in by billions of people, eventually scorched by the sun. Hopefully spread across the galaxy to be a part of a new star and planets. Part of me may end up in some future Solar System that achieves more than we do. Who knows. I can't think of a greater privilege than being alive.

^This, to me, is more comforting than any religion could ever be.
