I remember child I was very afraid of the death, me even had a nightmare there. My parents to reassure me told me that when that we died we were reincarnated in animal. This theory to market until certain one age or I me sui reported that when died we became again dust.
Unfortunately life after death does not exist. For their complacency, of course you can think that, but I believe that we have to live now. Then you have no chance. And don't be afraid to die. It is a deliverance from suffering.
No one can really be sure if theres life after death or if death is already final. And i think we shouldn't really worry about that because we have our lives in front of us and we need to make the most out of it. For me i think in a way death is finality. So whatever you can do to make your stay in this life worthwhile then by all means do it.
