heh, i really don't think this is our only existence, rather that what will happen next has nothing to do with any of our doctrines, since none of them is based on real fact but rather on hope.
i live because i love living, and i'm not going to throw that away, just because i know that it will eventually be over. Like a good movie. Do you get up and leave in the middle or wait 'till the end?

on another previous comment, in order to see you need eyes. Anything else woul not provide you with the same perception of reality , but with another perception. We only see ''photons''. not the huge amount of random and chaotic energy that surrounds us. A ghost seeing energy would be at least confused by the amount of vision-altering energy sources. [i am refering to the power lines, tv-s , computer, and all the 'gizmos' we use]. It's like billions of high power lights in your eyes when you try to see something...

PS: besides, i am immortal . Why? because i DO believe in reincarnation and because the time elapsed between my death and my rebirth will fly like a split second [not being able to feel time], i can only assume, that i will always be alive in some form or another. I just hope i'm no spider... i HATE spiders.

PS: since neither of us has proofs, rather suppositions, it is best to assume the worse, and then anything that happens will be far better than our expectations.


Now really speaking, would you rather be a ghost, able just to look at your ... say wife/husband get married again, and all that, or going mad in pain, or just simply wake up in a new body?

Besides, although there are some memories i would LOVE to keep, it would just be tooooooooooooo painful for me to remember the ones i love.

JEEEEZ this is getting too serious. Somebody 69 with me before i say anything else on the phylosophycal issue...
