[IMAGE] Nothing is permanent.

We can take that step further to say that this means that to think someone is "gone" kind of requires there to be some "essence" or some "soul" type of thing that makes a person something other than just a combination of matter and energy that is lost in the process. Some gestalt idea of something being more than the sum of its parts. If all we are is just matter and energy taken shape in this universe, our death isn't the end of that, it is just another reorganization. For someone to be "lost", there would have to be something which is lost, some soul that has departed, or some essence which we ascribe to that particular combination of matter and energy.

Neat stuff.
