What matters most to you?

Safety and proper nutrition. I'm not sure how would I do that.

How about your emotions? Will you panic or despair? Or would you remain calm and peaceful?

I'd panic, that would be quite a shock and a drastic change.

Would memories have any meaning then?

Meaning or not, you can't erase them. They would be painful because everything would be harder.

How would you spend the remaining years of your life?

I assume constant hard work to provide safety and proper nutrition, if I would figure out how to provide on my own in the first place.

@CrazyMusicLover That is thorough and true. Every one of your answers. It will be about survival, correct?

@Renkon Yes, of course. I don't have to care about all the energy now. I pay for the gas, electricity and filtered drinkable water and it all is delivered straight to the apartment I live in. I'd have to compensate for that. My immune system is too spoiled for unfiltered water, it's likely I would be soon infected with some pathogens that I would have to deal with somehow. Then the heating in winter. I guess I would have to move to some house and store wood to burn. Then I would have to learn how to produce and conserve food for later. 😅 With my current lifestyle I don't know much about these things and it would be probably too late to learn. Moreover I'm not healthy, I have an autoimmune disease that I should take meds for so unless it would get somehow reverted, I'd be slowly losing energy and will to go on over time.

@CrazyMusicLoverI believe health will be the top concern. To survive, one must effectively manage them.

@Renkon Further, if only humans would disappear, there would be many dogs left that would go wild and hungry, preying on other animals. I would definitely have to find some way to protect myself and domestic animals I would attempt to take care of from them.

@CrazyMusicLover That's like returning to the wilderness and the old ways of life. Livingon ones wits.
