"Death is something we will all be experts at eventually."

At the minimum, it is something of which we will have first-hand experience.

Not sure doing it once makes one an expert.

  It's the one thing that just doing it once makes you an expert. Billions that had die are still dead after a long time. I'd say that they have perfected the act, thus they would be considered experts.

    So if I figure out a way to screw it up I get a do-over?
    
    This has possibilities.

      As far as I know you could be doing a do over right now.

        Heck I'm from the sixties,,,,,, all the young pups think they invented progressive and New Age thinking. Kinda like hearing a song you like and think your facorite artist came up with it, only to find out it was a cover tune of the original or second or third generation.
        
        No what i said is I don't know how the death thing really works,,,,, you could very well just be recycled.

        In some sense, we are all recycled.
        
        That which is my body was formerly other stuff, animate and inanimate.
        
        When I die, my body will once again disperse and join the dance of nature, enriching the soil, feeding the bugs.
        
        Is there something intangible which persists? Don't know. If I had a previous life, I don't remember it. Maybe it's for the best. If the lessons of my past life only got me this far, I had to be a real a-hole the last time around.

        ever ponder this is the first time you are human; or man; or even from this particular universe? Maybe you could well have been something much worse than an A-hole,,,, or even something far greater than you are,,,, you just landed in the slot you did in the big roulette wheel of the Universe this time around.
        
        Lay down your bets folks, be safe, play both Black and Red!
