But what if there is no great adventure though, Angus? Wouldn't the natural curiosity in most Humans want to know if there is at least the possibility that something awaits us, not neccessarily what that may be?

I have actually been very close to death. Some years back, the surgeon told me if I hadn't had what turned out to be a ten and a half hour operation when I did, I would have only lived another three weeks at most, it seems a long time for an operation but that's what I was told, unless I was still a bit out of it and didn't take in fully what was being said, and I knew deep down that I was on my last legs so to be, and I was amazed really that I was so ready, so at peace with what could have been my then impending death, but I am still here much to my amazement at times when I look back at just how ill I was.
