Not at the Dinner Table / The Afterlife
« on: September 23, 2008, 02:43:36 PM »
Do you believe there is an afterlife? Do we continue to exist when this life is over, or do you think that once we die, that's it?
Personally, I have a hard time believeing that once we die, that's it. I like to think that we retain everything that we learned/remember, and take it with us to.. wherever we go. As to being able to communicate with those who are still around, I would like to think we could do it without scaring or haunting them, like visiting them in their sleep/in their dreams (that's apparently the way my relatives do it: I had a dream about grandpa after he died [before I knew he was gone] and he said he was fine, not to worry about him).
Let's try not to fight about it, please.
