•Reincarnation, either as another human or as something else. Maybe the rebirth system follows linear time, and maybe it doesn’t.
•Ghosts. Wandering the Earth in between the physical plane and some spectral world
•Some bleak land of the dead, like the ancient Greeks believed.
•Your life replays again, like a rewound movie. Either you get to start over fresh, or you can’t change anything, and just have to sit back and watch it play out as it happened. Maybe you have to do this forever, or maybe it stops some time.
•Some vague, all-inclusive spirit-world where everyone goes. Maybe a good place, maybe a bad place. Maybe neutral or even outside of the spectrum of “good” and “bad”.
•Something traditional. Heaven, Hell, maybe a stretch of sleep before the resurrection. I prescribe to this.
Those are a few I can think of. As a general rule, I believe that whatever it is, it is likely too outside of the human experience for us to be able to perfectly understand in this life. Whatever’s out there, I don’t think we’ve invented words for it.
Is it weird that I have never really thought about it? I always felt that if it is impossible to prove or disprove something there was no reason to waste my time thinking about it. This attitude probably explains why I don’t have a lot of friends anymore haha.
i also think of nothingness as a major possibility ……… we have one life , and fuck off if we can’t live it properly because of a ” corrupted ” body riddled with physical or mental disease or a poor environment not allowing you to enjoy it . i d really love to be able to have a ” reset” with a proper brain and environment but life is unfair and sucks so i don’t think a reincarnation will be possible ……… that’s why you have to try everything you can to make your life better so if after that , you still think you are better dead and choose you to kill yourself , you’ll have no second thoughts when you will do it .
Hell (for people like me.) Being tormented by a malevolent force for eternity, in a state of perpetual terror/agony – like the worst bits of horror films on an endless loop.
I thought about it and I think that once you are gone there is nothing. Scientifically you are just a small electronic pulse across a chemical gap across axons. Once you leave this plane of existence there is nothing left.
I understand this because truly who we are as a person solely exists in our brains and of course the obvious the impression we leave on others. Either they love us or they hate us.

Nothingness. I wouldn’t mind if there was an afterlife as long as I’m not in pain there too.
Good point.
Several possibilities.

I stopped thinking about it too. All I am going to do is gym and eat.

But nothingness seems more likely.

That is either the best argument for suicide or the best argument against suicide, and I can’t tell which.
