I can't convince myself that an afterlife exists, but one idea that I do enjoy is the idea of a 'personalized Heaven'- the idea that your afterlife is catered to your interests, your desires, your deepest needs (honestly, I think I got the idea from an American Dad episode). With this in mind, if you were to die today and get your own personalized Heaven, what would it be like?
A couple of elements I'd have:
-I'd find the love of my (after)life. I've kind of accepted that in real life, I'm just not gonna find 'the one'- personality is too passive, not really handsome enough, interests aren't really developed or relatable enough to attract most women, and the women I'm generally into aren't really into me. Fair enough, can't force attraction, but it would be nice to find 'the one'.
-I'd be able to wipe my memory, get reincarnated, or end it all for real whenever I want. The idea of 'eternal existence' has always disturbed me; even as a kid when I believed in Jesus I was terrified of Heaven for this reason. I think if I had a way to 'reset' whenever I got bored, or to experience life as a different person, it'd help keep the eternal ennui at bay. Maybe I'd reach a point where I'm ready to terminate forever; who knows?
-There'd be a never-ending nature area to explore. I love nature, and hate that humans have basically destroyed it in the name of the fleeting high of industrialization. I want to see it come back.
-A door to any fictional universe I want to visit. I'd love to be able to go to the settings of Mass Effect, Harvest Moon, Pokemon, etc.
-I'd have some sort of purposeful work. I don't mind working in real life; the problem is that it often feels like there's nothing behind it. Either you're doing something downright horrible or you're doing something interminably dull and thankless (having worked as a marketer, administrator, and public school teacher, I've seen all of those).
-I could eat as much as I want, whenever I want, while keeping an athletic physique. Just because the amount of work I have to put into a bodybuilder physique in real life really isn't worth it.
Those are just a couple of my thoughts; I'd love to see yours.
