An After Life - A Hell By Any Name
The greatest fear I have is that psychic phenomenon indicates an
afterlife, but an afterlife doesn't make any sense. There is no criteria
which makes the rules of such a thing work. What percentage of people
in history have had one and do all life forms get one? Are they all hanging around
waiting for something to happen? Does what you do in Calcutta as a Parsi
make any difference to where you go after death? If you are a Killer
Whale in Australia helping human whalers hunt the Humpback to extinction just
to eat the tongue are you doomed to some tragic purgatory? Whatever way it
works any kind of afterlife is plain horror. Of course the illogic of it
would be a suitable continuation of the life we have now where we can only fantasize
a purpose in all of this. But if there is only one hope I vainly wish for
it is that I could actually be the one to decide when it really is all over.
