While trying to convince an online friend to stop hacking away at his arms and wanting to kill himself, I got on the topic of afterdeath, heaven/hell type shit. I tore to peices his belief that once he finished killing his body here, he'd just be dead, and nothing more would happen. I informed him that it makes no sense, if anyone believed that, they surely would have killed themselves the first moment they began to believe it. Unless they had some miraculously happy life that they wanted to continue to the end. Also, sometime while talking to him I, for some reason, said the phrase "Everyone has SOME belief of what happens after they die." Very stupid of me, considering that I had no belief whatsoever about life after death. I was just going to see what happens later instead of picking some random belief. But I didnt want to be hipocritical, so I quickly came to the most sensible belief I could think of:
Basically, life is a game. You play a level, if you win, you move on. But if you don't, you're stuck at the same level; you keep reincarnating. You can't turn the game off, because that would defeit the purpose. The goal is to get somewhere wayyyy up to some blissful land at the end of the game. And to get there, you have to learn a lesson in each level (each level being another planet, or still Earth, only in a different, better body, I don't know). That way, when you win the whole game, you're in a place where everyone knows everything, no one does anything wrong or stupid, And everyone is eternally happy...
Well there's my new belief. Makes sense if you think about it. And it's something interesting to believe in, so why not? If anyone read that all, I am sorry. And please let me know if I need to be committed. Trust me, I will fully understand.
