Feb. 13th, 2014 08:58 pmI want to post something better than 'health update, blah, blah, blah..." so I have a question - more religiously bent than morbid, actually. What do you think happens to 'you' when your body dies? What do you, personally, think will occur? Will your soul go elsewhere? Snuff out? What?
I have my own theory, of course, but I'm curious about other people's beliefs. We just saw a news piece about someone dying and their relative said, "They are with God now." but they didn't seem all that happy about it (I know, they are grieving) and that made me wonder - death is celebrated in some few countries but most mourn loss. Yet when I think about 'afterwards' I am filled with anticipation and curiosity for what I will experience. It isn't something I dread. So I wonder if we view our personal death in a vastly different way than we do the death of someone we care about.
