Discussion What do you hope happens after you die?

[Ashborne_Quietus]

Nothing

 

[Forever Sleep]

A brief reunion with my family and friends. Hugs all round. A few nice walks in a beautiful garden. Then, skip to nothing before the crticism starts. They're my family after all. It won't be them if they don't start criticizing something.

But then- that's why I don't think a true heaven can exist because- how do you please everyone? How do we remain ourselves and not still retain some of our negative attributes? How on earth do you give everyone choice and yet all those choices coincide to make everyone happy? If we maybe want a holiday in heaven but don't fancy an eternity there- how can it be heaven if there is still bereavement for those who do want to remain?

I suppose if we're talking realism- my safer hope is that there will be nothing. No chance of stuff going wrong then.

Oh, this question triggered a memory. I remember that in my childhood I hoped to find myself in space with a giant display where I could type questions and see the true answers. A God's Google, I guess. And I could spend all eternity there, asking questions and reading, and watching the stars.

I have 2 hypotheses.
The first is the most probable: I will return to the state before birth, raw matter without any consciousness.
Second: I return to the whole, the origin. If the universe has its own consciousness, I go back to being part of it.
But there's a 99% chance it's the first one, at least from my point of view.
