I always imagined an after life, and knew there was one, guess this was dictated by religion, but over the last decade my mind has changed.
When i hit 16, i lost my dad, and wanted to think there was an after-life, and then as time went on, i got more and more away from thinking there was such thing as life after death.
Then, i started an Engineering Degree, and i look at the facts and use my new knowledge of physics, chem, and bio to conclude to my-self, how can there be an after-life.
In simple terms i now think, when you go to sleep at night, the next thing you know is that you have woken up. I think if one was to be frozen and woken up thousands of years later, it would seem instant to that person.
But, in the back of my mind, i want there to be an after-life, and know one will ever know till it happens, and if nothing happens, you'll never know anyway, thus won't be able to worry or do anything about it.
Makes me raise the question, what's the point of life?
My point in life is now my kids, before kids, i don't think i really had one.
