There are 3 common answeres to this:a)We should leave a life full of hope for an afterlifeb)We should wait and see it when we diec)We should leave with the beleive that this life marks the end of everything.I have listed the answeres in ascending level of stupidity! To pat the back of the last, it is often said that if we leave knowing that this life is the only one we have, then we will make the best out of it. Well, let us see if this claim conducts electricity. Lets say you know that TODAY is the end of your life. You will never leave tommorrow. Will you make the best out of today or perharps you will tremble the whole day doing nothing? Secondly, are we supposed to beleive that those who commit suicide think that they are now floating in clouds with bliss? I don't think so!To the guys fetching from the river of 'wait and see', Jesus would say:"You are going to have light just a little longer. Walk while you still have the light, before darkness overtakes you. Whoever walks in the darkness does not know where he is going." John 12:35In other words, the 'wait and see' camp say that we can't know if there will be light or darkness. So lets just waite and we will see it in the dark! Then you wonder why I put it in the 'stupid' folder? Here is the verdict: while you are sure you can ponder about afterlife, do it! When you have died and can't think anymore, there will be no one to 'see it'. But even a more important point woshing over the heads of the wait and see camp, consider the high school thought that tommorrow, you will be on tour to a game park. Then you keep wondering about ostriches, leopards etc. When tommorrow comes, allas! You find that it was even more enjoyable to fantasise about the tour than the tour itself! Those who waited and 'saw' missed the truely enjoyable time!Exermine again how Jesus's view of afterlife is dramatically different from what modern man may view it. To many people, when it comes to such things as afterlife, we humans are impotent. Even if a modern man nolonger beleive in God, if there if an afterlife, like a pair of gumboots type god just there at the right moment, something will somehow whisk us like flying witches with their brooms. Voila! We will find ourselves just at the right place! The stupidity of this hope is underscored by the fact that in everywhere we go, we have KNOW the way and make decisions! If you donnot seek to know now, like Jesus said, you will be forced to know it in the dark!!The question of afterlife is quite certain when we think clearly about it! Many miss it because they tend to see death only from birds perspective. That is to say they donnot go deep enough. When the question of if we die, will we leave again, is paused, what comes to minds is brains, neurology, souls etc. In otherwords people try to answere a yes or no question with an 'how' answer!! To the new ager, he is busy trying to answer it with a 'who I am' answer. He kills his hours wondering who he is. But you don't need to know what you realy are to understand that you cannot perish by merely doing a somausoult!To answere the simple yes or no question, just consider the following thought experiment: a person is pointing a gun at your fore head. You donnot know whether it is loaded or not. There he counts: one,...,two,..., then? Alright, either the gun is unloaded and you hear a tickle or it is loaded and you learn of it at some arbitrary future! There can never be just a one possible answere to a yes or no question. Without your experience, truths can never be actualised for you. But you have to deeply meditate on what will happen TO YOU should the gun be loaded so you may understand. You must put yourself in the shoes of a dieing man.The eternal oblivionist will say that after death, there will be nothing! However, a curious thing about the carefull mind is that it draws SOMETHING for every word, including the word 'nothing' or 'no thing'! In other words, there is SOME IDEA that the concocter of the word was riffering so the word may have a meaning. Ideas absolutely presupposes a mind. When someone say that he does not see anything, we know that actualy he is seeing a black thing! For me not to experience anything after I die, I must experience the lack of experience otherwise the idea of lacking experience will have no meaning to the mind!
