    Afterlives are just something people invented to make themselves feel better while living in an unjust world. They hope there is some sort of cosmic justice in the afterlife that will compensate them for the injustices of their current lives. Over time the concept was coopted by the powers that be to keep the masses compliant with the promise of a reward that will realistically never come.

      Is there an afterlife or do your final thoughts, fears and regrets just echo for a perceived eternity that is actually seconds, like when a computer hangs during a video and the last played sound repeats over and over and over …

      Or there’s nothing, whatever, sometimes it’s fun to imagine terrifying nonsense.
