The word void might be used as a synonym for afterlife. Or it could mean just "being in the dark" here, while still living. Either way, a question would serve as an attempt to ratify ignorance on the subject. With the first interpretation, one would start by questioning what happens in such a "void" and then proceed by experiment to find out (perhaps philosophically?). With the other interpretation though, it would lead to a cessation of living by rules here and now which are based on non-provable absolutes.
"A void without a question is just perverse"
A remarkable line, I think. .. In one sweep there is his reason.
When I hear it I think of stagnated places where no true realisation can penetrate, where a constant feeling of the unknown exists but the search for a truth is beset by an acceptance of an absolute which can't be questioned.
In what way is the perversion of an accepted void similar to the imagery in the following line?
One would first have to assume that people would come to one's own funeral. One would place the misters there to either increase the crying (albeit, tears of physical pain and therefore false) or to cause suffering (post-mortem) to people who had cared enough to be at the funeral.
