Well from a scientific point of you...yeah we are connected we are made up from the same atoms that existed from the big bang. Just recycled like when an animal dies it becomes bio-organic compost to fertilize the soil etc etc which is nice to think about in a way we never truly physically die we just change into other things become part of other things as far as our "souls" ..hmm idk what happens . We are all more intertwined than we care to acknowledge in my opinion. But i disagree we dont share the same first person pov of the world (unless you meant like we literally only view the world through first person vision. Then yeah i agree.) But our perspectives of the world are different, learning how we all view things Is what makes life kinda interesting in my opinion. And if we die all the peoples lives we interacted with all their little worlds will be affected even in the most miniscule way. That person that works in the store you always go to will think i wonder where that person is. That homeless person you gave your change to will remember that you were one of x amount of people that gave them change that day enough to get a good meal or alcohol. Their little worlds will wonder where you went, will try to remember the face of the person who was kind to them, mean to them etc. We all leave an imprint in peoples lives. We are nobody to determine how our death will effect their worlds. Only they know. Some would be like wow that sucks but some would be like damn he/she was nice/mean but its kinda sad he he/she died . Idk its a deep topic but i understand what you tryna say

Wow thanks for the long and thoughtful answer, I really appreciate it. What I meant by "sharing the same first pov" is the awareness that each one of us has got of being alive, and also the view of the world through first person vision (and "feeling"?), so I believe that we are in a certain way all the same (but diverse for obvious reasons, like what you said about perspective). But I guess it kinda soothes me the idea that when we die "that part that binds us all together" will keep living in someone else's life. It's a bit complicated to explain with words.

At one time, I would have agreed with this. But I have a close friend who lost her 16 year old son to suicide in 2017. I have seen firsthand the pain and devastation that results. Your family and friends would not move on. You don't move on from something like suicide. You accept it, but you never really get over it. My friend tells her story and is a mental health advocate.
