| | | blah blah spirituality forum?
what do you think happens to you after you die and how does that affect your life?
if you knew for certain that your death was the end completely and there was nothing after would it make you more or less inclined to try to do more with your life?

| | the suffering ends and you enter the eternal bliss of unconsciousness 
it affects my life because i perpetually want to kill myself and others to spread the happiness, like any good person should. |

| | | My general thoughts on death are you die and that's it. There is nothing afterwards. Nothing. And I just get on with life, innit. Take each day as it comes. But I don't live like every day could be my last, because then I'd be taking stupid risks that could shorten what little time I have.
I just get on with it.
D'you know what I mean? |

| | | despite being catholic, my philosophy is:
i'll worry about that when i'm dead. today, i'm going to worry about being alive.

Back to the topic, I'm a very spiritual person and I KNOW there is an afterlife, no doubt about it, and it's eternal bliss.
I believe in reencarnation too.
Basically life, wether it's spiritual or eathly life, is a journey where the goal is to be better. So even if you die you don't stop growing, life doesn't stop, it never ends, just like matter life can't be created or destroyed, it simply transforms.
I've had a rough time the last few months, or somewhat of a rough time and at moments I've yearned for death, like I wanted to get it over with and just get away from EVERYTHING, but I've come to terms with the world and realize that this life is a step to a higher goal and there is no two ways about it, it has to be lived and it HAS TO BE PRODUCTIVE. For myself and everyone around me, so that's my mindset right now and for the future too.  |

| | death = the end. burnt or buried. no more you.
i'm not more/less inclined to live life to the full, but it stops me getting too full of myself.  |

| | | hch i will look for my essays on my old laptop, im on my new shiny one now, but im onto it.
gelf, in short basically i do live my life differently because i think there is "something" on the otherside. it has been disputed that this is a psychological coping mechanism, which might be true. i think that there must be something, for to live a whole life without consequences is far more daunting and scary as there would generally not be a point? i use the cosmological argument to show that the designer (god for some) would not have created something so complex for us to dissapear off the earth. therefore i beleive personally that it is some kind of test, and that our life on earth is actually the blink of an eye in the grand scheme of things. in this respect i would say i do embrace some buddhist traditions. therefore when i make a decision i would say that i have something inside of my that considers long term consequences.
in the same way i think that having a belief in some kind of after life as a result of life on earth "generally" (and i use this term very loosely) makes for a better person.
maybe im stupidly optimistic, as some have argued. on the other hand, most people my age have said fuck it we'll just die and even if there was a god surely he will be omnibenevolent and so will not face punishment anyway.
as far as having a definitive belief system abotu life after death i'm 18 and i love reading up and exploring this sort of thing. i have no doubt that as i mature this will change.
that's about it for now, but i loved having debates with my teacher about this. |

| | i want to believe in something
but i just dont know if i can
i cant even accept IT, death, i mean wtf/ never mind start to begin to think rationally about things that happen afterwards and decide how to live my life because of that. i just wish i could believe that it never happens 
so i really dont even know what i think about it (well apart from that its the shittest thing ever)so this post is useless
wow great

| | | i want to believe in something after death and a massive part of me does and definitely wants to too bookstore but obviously not enough because I get SO freaked out about it when I start to think that there might be nothing. I completely understand you wishing you could believe it never happened.
