Same here. A while ago, I tried starting a family tree and was enjoying it until I realized a lot of it had to do with fear of death. Then it got to a point when the people in my line were nothing more than names on a piece of paper, and that I knew nothing about them- not their likes and dislikes, their hobbies, their favorite color, nothing . I felt no connection to those people other than, "Well, they bumped uglies and made more people who bumped uglies until that made me . La dee da."

I know that one day I will just be a name on a piece of paper, if I'm lucky. But you know what? That's all right. I'm enjoying what I have now, and that's already more than what anyone can hope for. Immortality is a great idea, but isn't there for most people.
