We fear not knowing what will happen to us after we die, be it an afterlife where we are judged based on our actions when we were alive or be it absolute nothingness and we only live on in the memories of those who are still alive. This phenomenon of death keeps us always asking questions about, wondering about it, and thinking about it. It will always consume our lives because it is a verifiable fact that it is one of the few things all life has in common. The vast majority of people’s views on death can be put up into two categories. One that they belief in an afterlife and that their life has meaning when they die, or two that there is no afterlife and the only meaning their life will have, is from what happens when they are alive. My personal view is to live virtuously, and hope for life after death, but if it doesn’t exist that’s okay too. Nonetheless, we will never know for sure until we are deader than a doornail, and don’t take this issue so seriously, we will all find out
