You popular off together with yous are gone. The trunk decomposes.
It is similar a switch was turned off to a figurer together with it no longer has power. The difficult drives spin down, the processor stops processing together with the data inward retention goes blank.
But create non fearfulness for when yous popular off yous won't fifty-fifty realize yous are dead. You won't live afraid or inward the nighttime or solitary or mutual depression temperature or hungry. You every bit a someone won't exist.
The solar daytime afterward yous popular off volition experience simply similar June fifth 1642 felt similar for everyone live today.
What, yous don't truly call upwards what June fifth 1642 felt like?
That is just the point. The solar daytime afterward yous popular off volition experience simply similar that. It won't experience similar anything at all. You won't live scared or sorry or happy or solitary on that day. You won't call upwards anything almost it at all.
Sometime simply about 2010 I took a moving-picture demonstrate that I similar to telephone scream upwards the perfect rose:
The only proof that this rose ever existed is this photograph.
It left me spellbound amongst awe. It was inward the Rose Garden at Golden Gate Park inward San Francisco.
See that tiny drib of H2O on ane of the petals? I honey that tiny drop. I honey that flower.
Although It pains me to know that this amazing rose, the most amazing I ever saw amongst my ain eyes, (at to the lowest degree to me) is gone, that doesn't alter the fact that it is gone.
No amount of wishing or wanting it to be inward some magical particular house volition arrive so.
But it also doesn't alter the fact that it was even therefore an amazing together with beautiful rose. I danced simply about it lightheaded for to a greater extent than than xv minutes simply staring.
I therefore wanted to cutting it together with proceed it forever but I didn't.
I knew that this rose could non lastly forever. All I could create was travail to capture it inward my inexpensive >$70 photographic tv set camera together with promise the epitome fifty-fifty remotely looked similar the existent thing.
It took 10 tries earlier this moving-picture demonstrate finally happened.
I didn't know how skillful it was until I got dwelling together with looked at it on the computer. The slightly overcast solar daytime gave it a fair lite from all directions together with truly somehow allow its natural color smoothen through.
When my woman nurture dies she similar that rose volition live gone too. She won't live sorry or afraid or alone. But I volition even therefore accept memories of her, together with a few pictures too.
The Universe is 13.82 billion years one-time amongst 300 sextillion stars together with nosotros are non fifty-fifty hither for an instant of that.
It is beyond all Definition of hubris to me to assume that some sort of forever afterlife would live built for us when nosotros offset existed 100,000 years ago.
The concept is simply impossible.
To me the idea of an eternal afterlife of pure bliss together with happiness amongst no evil together with no sorrow is truly fifty-fifty scarier than simply ceasing to exist.
At to the lowest degree if at that topographic point is naught I won't care. No to a greater extent than than I cared almost June fifth 1642!
Even a sky amongst a total hit of emotions would operate frightening afterward an eternity.
***
If life were perfectly happy together with happy became routine together with therefore happiness would no longer exist. Eternity inward heaven, unable to interact amongst our basis inward whatever means that tin live observed or measured would operate a frightening experience.
Let's imagine Heaven is similar a topic common for the mind. It is similar an experience machine of the grandest scale together with capabilities possible.
Once inward Heaven yous tin create anything yous tin imagine together with experience, anything yous desire but at that topographic point is ane dominion -- it must e'er live a happy experience.
There tin live no sadness together with no hurting inward this experience. You tin go through fourth dimension or infinite together with catch virtual worlds that yous could imagine but at that topographic point tin only live happy experiences; at that topographic point is no hurting together with no sadness inward heaven.
Think almost eternity for a moment.
It is a truly long time.
Would yous non accept experienced every game together with activeness yous ever wanted to create inward just, let's nation a K years?
