I find it comforting. Eventually all of this will be over. The concept of heaven is what’s terrifying. Never being able to die, living into infinity? No thanks

That’s why reincarnation would be the perfect scenario! You live for eternity you just don’t know it! Of course that same logic applies the other way too, you’ll be dead forever but don’t worry because you won’t even know it! Aghhhhh😠

If there's really nothing after death, you don't need to be scared :D

You can't know that, maybe not existing is better than existing.

The fuck I can't. I've already done both. I know that I prefer existence to non existence.

Well you see, there was roughly 14 billion years before I was born that I didn't exist. Then I was born and now I do exist.

Do you not understand what existence is?

I'm sorry, you're going to have to go talk to your parents or guardian about life and death and the concepts of existence. It's not a topic that I believe you should learn about from a stranger on the Internet.

That was a joke.. But rly, you can't know if it's better to exist because you could not exist and still be "alive" in some energy state or idk. We know actually nothing about how universe works, so perception of these things is usually relative to person. Only death is probably the same for everyone

Alright XO, I have some good news for you, consciousness studies are getting really interesting and their is actually serious inquiries into the possibility of the survival of consciousness post mortem. Look up Bruce Greyson and Sam Parnia as two good starters. There is a ton of woo and fake shit around life after death as well, most of the people peddling this shit are trying to sell books, looking at you Eben Alexander. In the end as pointed out above, none of us know, either way...we aren't dead yet.

Here are some links that may help...
