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 回复Why 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.

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.)

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.

2 回复If 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.

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 回复由Mudkip编辑： 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.
