Annhilation

Annihilate:  destroy utterly; obliterate
Annihilation:  from the Latin verb for "reduced to nothing"

Death: The end of the life of a person or organism;  the destruction or permanent end of something

Are they the same?  You tell me.

Don't mistake this for something more than it is.  I just think often about reducing something or someone to nothing.  Does death reduce you to nothing?
Can a person annihilate some part of themselves and live to rebuild that part?  Or does annihilate suggest there is no return?

Can annihilation ever be a good thing?
