People often say, “I’ll meet you in the afterlife” or “I’ll see you again on the other side.”
It isn’t based on evidence, it’s a way of holding on to someone we’ve lost, a psychological tether to something we know nothing about, and a way to avoid facing the finality of death and just letting go.
The truth is, we don’t know what happens when life ends. Dwelling on it doesn’t get you a ticket. Just let it go.
Religions and philosophies offer many explanations, but none can be proven. Just dogma for dogmatic reasons. Just let it go.
Treat it like tomorrow and keep your stride. We don’t know the outcome of the game until the clock ticks 0:00.
The idea of reunion after death, comforts us because accepting permanent separation from an intrinsic part of ourselves is difficult. Just let it go. The memories are real.
No one wants this state of being to end, and fairytales give us hope it doesn’t. Just let it go.
When we draw the final breath, and the synapse fires its last shot, does the play go on without us, or has the curtain already fallen on all existence?
What came first, exist or existence?
