There is no god. There is no afterlife. When we die our mind and body wither away; along with our names, thoughts, and action. This "soul/spirit", us humans' claim is simply a delusional idea to keep us sane. Though the discipline that comes with a Religion keeps humanity from chaos. So believe what you will. For we are just living, day after day, knowing full-well we will all die someday. And never again see, hear, feel, smell, or taste anything ever again. I always assumed when we die we will just see a blank image for eternity; but then again we'd need eyes and a brain to remember that. Sure history will be able to identify us. Till a war or catastrophe wipes away all-means of finding us. The inevitable is upon us, to make matters worse "The cycle", repeats itself. Not just with you, but with the 7 billion people constantly being born and dying as we speak. Self-awareness is important but it can also drive you insane. With that said, I hope you cherish what life we have left till the day we all leave this Earth. -KijiWijiLemonSqueegee
