I want to speak those languages :
French (Learnt : 4/5)
English (Learnt : 3/5)
Japanese (In progress)
Chinese (Ambitious, I know…)
Spanish (Que?)
Latin and greek could be very useful for ethymology.
Asia’s culture is fascinating, martial arts is one of my greatest passion; the food too. I hope to visit those places some day.

Death haunts me. It’s hard to live your life if you don’t believe in metaphysics. When I look our individual behaviors, I can’t believe we are meant to exist forever. Time destroys matter; time kills animals. I think the most frightening thing about death is to cease to exist along our memories. When I think about good times from the past, my brain processes those memories and makes them real for me (the recipient). If I die or if I lose my long term memory, my past fades and then I (my personality) meet the void.
I was wondering… What are your thoughts about all this? Do you fear the pain from your death? Do you fear to not live long enough to fulfill your goals? Or do you fear that life might be useless if the past dies along with your body? It’s interesting to see another’s points of view and I would be glad to hear them from people like me who have some difficulties about this topic.

I began learning japanese few weeks ago.
First goal : Learning a good amount of vocabulary (I learn them by theme eg.; animals, body part…).
Second goal : Learning hiragana and then katakana.
I’ll try to do this in two month, wish me good luck. :)
