Do you believe in something after all this?
So my grandmother just passed away after a long battle with illness. I am not sad but more relieved it's over. I don't believe in God or a higher power but in these moments do you ever wish theres an Afterlife or something more for our loved ones? Do you wish you are wrong and there is a higher being?

6 AntwortenWhy do we fear death? You tend not to notice, but you die. Repeatedly. Constantly. As you are reading this, you die thousands of times. Again an again. Because for every microscopic change in your brain, the consciousness that you are fades into a memory. Every instant, you are someone else, ever so slightly different.

This is the afterlife.

I don't know quite what ideals or religions i follow. (I am a catholic) but i seem to have my own mental projection of what there is after death, and I believe there is a higher power, but not necessarily one from a religion. (My own kind of deity.)
-
I don't. Why would I want there to be an absolute power that I could never overcome? That would mean that I'm not the master of my own destiny.

Bearbeitet von Onxide: 1/29/2016 3:57:41 AMI don't [i]want[/i] an afterlife. When I die, my story is done. That's the end of the book. I just wanna rest in peace in the place where I was brought into this world, the great planet Earth.

No, but if I had to pick one, I'd defer to Greece's Underworld or Rome's Elysium.

Conservation of energy states energy cannot be created or destroyed, just changed. If we are a series of electrical impulses, can our conscience carry on in these electric impulses? Perhaps as another form of energy? Pure speculation and not based on any research but food for thought.

I believe in one, mainly for the sake of not making myself put too much worry into something I can't really control. I'd like to live a productive and psychologically happy life over a life in which I constantly wonder about an afterlife. That would hinder my productivity personally.

I don't see why not, stranger things have happened in this world

5 AntwortenA lot of worms... From the ground we came and to the ground we must all return.

I want there to be something after life. For the sake of the people I care about. But I don't believe there is anything.
-
I believe there's something. I find it hard to believe that there's nothing left after the initial go.
-
I personally believe there is so I can't say

Death is only another door way the question is to where not what

1 AntwortenAs a child when I heard of "eternal life after death" I cried. Living forever would drive me insane.

I want to believe, but I don't

2 AntwortenIf I could pick all the nice bits out of religion and actually believe it, accept it. I would. Ignorance is bliss. Unfortunately I know this is not the case.

It's a nice thought live forever as yourself! :) but no we were star stuff! & in 3.5billion years we will be again! ;)

Never once believed, or wanted to believe in an afterlife. I don't really care what happens when I die, I expect it'll just be... nothing. When my dogs died, I really wished there was. It makes me so mad that I lost something that I can never, ever get back. I also wish it existed because I feel that they deserve something more at the end of all this.

2 AntwortenBearbeitet von Mudkip: 1/28/2016 6:10:12 AMI see it two ways... 1: You believe in nothing. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. The person is gone. 2: You believe in a higher power. The ones we love, depending on what we have faith in, will go somewhere good or bad. (I.e. heaven/hell) or be reincarnated as something or someone else and still be with us in a sense. ------------------------------------------------------------------ personally, i'm christian, and as such, don't beleive in reincarnation, but it's in no way my place to decide what you believe or what you do. I'm just trying to point out the possible long run. No beleifs: Gone Forever Yes beleifs: it may be a gamble, and no, there's no sure end, but at least this way there's a chance... no matter how microscpoic... there is still a chance. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks for listening to my rambling and I hope I helped in someway, You have my prayers. Much love! :)

If only things were that easy. It's wishful thinking until we have reason to assume otherwise. I don't need it, personally. I'm comfortable enough with the unknown that I don't need a belief to explain things I can't.

4 AntwortenI dont belive there is but i'd be nice.

My wife's grandma has been haunting the shit out of us for a few years now. Makes lights flicker, sucks my dick when I'm sleeping. Best ghost ever.
