Ah, but there is no death, for there is no you, there is no me, and there is no we. There is no time and there is no life. There is only the existence of energy in space, and its ability to change forms.
Death sez: “…[I]f this were true, they could in their reckoning make me equal to nought, therefore not dreadful: could say that where I am they are not, that where they are, I am not. …Do not think that you can escape me; do not think you can call me Nothing. To you I am not Nothing; I am the being blindfolded, the losing all power of self-defence, the surrender, not because any terms are offered, but because resistance is gone: the step into the dark: the defeat of all precautions: utter helplessness turned out to utter risk: the final loss of liberty.”

Much to speculate, but the NOTHING may be the kindest.

…and, if you do see something looking back, it’s probably just part of a horror film.

That’s because it is a giant magnifying glass; NOT a mirror.
