What would you do?

I do not believe that we will fully know everything until we have passed from this life. Until then all we can do is simply do our best to survive. And do our best to live as well as we can.

This is a sentiment I have heard often. If it is true, then what would concern is the possibility that the event would be anti-climatic. :unsure:

From my perspective, this is a very legitimate question since we honestly don't truly know what happens when we die. What Mr. Ed asks is just as viable as any other belief or idea we may have on the matter.

However, that said, I don't know that we can be prepared for the reality of what happens after we die, regardless of what we think will happen. I do think that if we have lived a life in accordance with our conscience (i.e. what we individually would consider a "good life" - and we each have our own definition), that we could die with no, or at least minimal, regrets. I certainly would want to enter the process of dying in peace with my conscience.

I guess we will have to wait and see. :) I'm giddy on the inside.

I have to admit to being immensely curious about the whole thing. :)

Edit: Here is a true story (is "true story" an oxymoron like "country music" or "military intelligence"?)...

A year or so after returning from Vietnam, I was driving a big old early 1960s Oldsmobile on 94 in Eastern Montana with my girlfriend and her Dad in the car. We were rear-ended as we were slowing to turn off the highway onto a country gravel road. The car spun in the air and flew 110 feet off the highway down an embankment. It seemed to take forever to land. I clearly remember that while flying through the air, I wondered if we were dead and if so, what were we supposed to do now due to how badly the car was damaged inside and outside. It was a weird feeling, to say the least. It turned out that none of us were hurt beyond a few bumps and bruises.

As a believer I am extremely curious and excited. The idea of the process of death doesn't excite me but, the possible after party does.

I am glad for you, and realize that is one of the bonuses of being a "Believer". I have a younger brother who expresses similar sentiments. I am becoming more curious especially with the concept of parallel or universes within universes as is being researched by quantum physicists.

The forced patience in this matter is certainly a teaser.
 
Not morbid but I’ve looked forward to what comes after life for as long I have lived. It’s hard to live under the best circumstances, add long term mental illness, degenerating health and old age, it is no wonder I look forward to opportunities that lie ahead.

Well, I just take it as it comes, knowing that someday I will go through the experience, whatever it turns out to be. I suppose I might experience impatience in waiting if there wasn't the certainty that it will happen, but I don't believe that. It is one of the things we all have in common - we all die sometime.

A positive outlook, for sure. :)
