Well I haven't made a thread in forever so here it goes.
Well the other day I was about to go to bed. Then I started to think about death. What happens aftera person dies and it scared the **** out of me. I never been so scared in my life. Apart of me wanted to believe in some greater force. Another side of me wanted to believe in reincarnation.Either way it was troubling...the fear was eating away at me. I somehow went to sleep but woke up in the morning with the slight same fear. I just would hate for me and the people I love to be non existing.I guess its inevitable.
So anyway what do you think happens after we die OT?

Take two men on a boat in the middle of the sea. When one man dies, why does the other man eat him?
1) Obviously, the man eats the other man in order to live. If Man A doesn't eat Man B, then Man A will die as well.
2) But...if we're assuming that everything is all sunshine and roses after death, then WHY would Man A be so afraid to die that he's willing to resort to cannibalism? If Man A truly and utterly REALLY believed that he'd achieve eternal bliss if he didn't feed on the corpse of Man B, then WHY DO IT? In the event of rescue, he'll forever be labelled as a cannibal, shunned by society, and prolonging the Hell that is the Eternal Bliss of Death. WHY prolong his suffering if the alternative is a quicker road to everlasting bliss?
3) And as someone who's encountered many animals, one thing I can say is almost always true is that most animals try not to die. Goddamn chickens try to avoid death when I try to eat them. Superficially, that seems pretty similar to how a guy on a boat will try to avoid death when his shipmate tries to eat him.
4) So...if death really isn't so bad, then why aren't more organisms freaking begging to get killed? When I try to catch a chicken so that I can chop its head off, that chicken will probably try to run. Social animals such as mice and hamsters will absolutely murder each other and then feed on each others' flesh if the person who put the mice in a cage doesn't give them enough food. If death really isn't so bad...if death is eternal bliss and paradise, then what's going on here? Why will hamsters murder and eat each other when starved, why will humans do EXACTLY the same thing? If the afterlife is so freaking awesome, then why is it that people are so willing to do ALMOST ANYTHING if the consequence of noncompliance is death?
