Answers to the Universe in 15 Minutes or Less

Who created the universe? What happens after we die? What can we learn from heartbreak? I asked these vague-ish questions, and something interesting happened.

So I put their answers next to each other to create Answers to the Universe in 15 Minutes or Less.

Sam I Am - Afraid of Death

Should I be afraid of death? The question breaks down into a three parter - what happens when we die, are you okay with the life you've left behind, and does your perspective change when you're closer to it?
