All people will be gone in our linear view of time, but time is relative, and once we die and our brains click off we're no longer anywhere relative to that line. Maybe life is just a fractal, or series of colliding fractals, like everything else there is. Even this universe, it has to have been created from a system of rules, and those rules from their own system of rules, and so on, and so on, and so on.... Maybe, in this way, the place we go to when we die is exactly the same place we are before we're born, like a fractal we take a different path all the way from one end to the next but we still wind up back at the start, and we just loop endlessly. Maybe we've already lived these lives infinitely and we will live them infinitely more, and thus we will never truly die off and will never truly be forgotten as there are already people now who know we exist and thus there always will be. If that's the case then maybe you should stop being so depressed about it and try to live life to the fullest, and as a result you'll net more happiness time than depression time in your life. :P Of course, like I said, time is relative. It'll be a net gain per life but on a universal scale you'll be repeating each segment infinitely and therefore you'll have an endless amount of depression time and an endless amount of happiness time. But you'll only remember it one slice at a time. :)
