I've Been Thinking About This Recently



Death. I mean, not in a suicidal/homicidal kind of way or anything. Just Death. That's right, with a capital D. It's a big thing. It is also so incomprehensible, that you can't even grasp any idea of the concept. I mean, seriously, think about it. What happens? What happens to you?

Some people say that you just stop existing. But how would that work? What would become of your mind? Your thoughts? What would happen? Could you just be floating along without a body, but with a mind? That makes no sense. And how would you just stop existing, thinking? How could that happen?

So, say you believe in heaven. Okay, I do. What does that mean? Personally, I don't want to be stuck with the normal perception of heaven. I mean, who all really wants to spend the rest of their days tramping around on a bunch of clouds?

Okay, so there's a bright light. Then what? We just float around for the rest of eternity? Bleah. That's boring. But maybe we won't care?

Trying to think of Death is like trying to imagine an unknown color. Say a color that is out there, but can't be seen or just hasn't ever been seen. It's completely different from any colors we have ever seen. Nothing to compare it with. How do you think it would look? You can't imagine it, because nothing you know will compare to it.

Death is one of those things that I think would be really cool to experience. Unfortunately, it only happens once (according to most religions). It's so beyond our range of experience or understanding. You can barely think about it.

So what do I think heaven will be like (if there is such a thing)? I was always sort of hoping that it would be like a place where we can always have fun, but suffer no consequences. And there wouldn't be mean spirited fun. Just things like skydiving, that you wouldn't ever have to worry about getting hurt.

No

  1. Pain
  2. Suffering
  3. Death (obviously)
  4. Misery
  5. Depression
  6. Cruelty
  7. Hate


I just see it as every place any kind of person enjoys being in. A place just of love. The kind of love that tends to pop up around Christmas. Well, for most families.

But heaven's just so incomprehensible. It blows my brain every time I try to think about it.
