The great majority of people do not like to talk about death.  Usually “other” people die.  All of us would like to live forever, except persons that are tired of living (old ones), the terminally ill, or ones with severe depression (they even commit suicide).  Psychologists believe that ones that do are in agonizing pain, physically or mentally.  There is no solution, except death. 

One of the great mysteries is that no one really knows what happens to us when we die.  Three thousand years ago the Egyptians believed that the dead were on a trip and they were provided with food for the voyage. 

At the present time, Christians believe that if they were “good” they will go to heaven to be in total bliss for eternity. The people that were not good while alive will go to hell for eternal punishment!  Either concept does not make sense.  Why?  Because our limited intelligence is not capable of understanding “eternity” a trillion trillion years – which in reality is just a mere nanosecond. 

Other religions believe that we reincarnate forever and ever until we attain perfection.  In relation to what?  They do not know.  

In the last book of the Bible, John the writer had the vision of the new earth and heaven on earth in which the saved ones will live for “ever” in perfect harmony!  It is hard to believe that people could live in peace with one another.  Now even husband and  wife cannot live in peace,  the two people which are the simplest form of society!

In conclusion, the only ones that suffer pain, anguish, desperation are the ones that are left behind. More so the ones who take their own life. The only consolation we have is that we all have to die sometime. 

Lately as of today April 24  2021, I have come up with a “theory” that when we die we are transformed  into a spirit which is an essence of what we were when we were alive! But of course is only MY theory. Any comments would be very much appreciated.
