Everyone has their own idea about what life after death really is and then there are others who either think it is actually the end, over and done with, yet many others don't think about it or don't care. There's a lot of different theories out there. Is if wishful thinking on the part of those who are curious, afraid or those who are looking forward to their death? Well who's to say for sure? Death will be different for all of us, it just depends on what each person's beliefs are at the time.
As for me, like anyone else, I have my own belief, be it wishful thinking or not. I would hope that my own death would transport me to a more pleasant life than the one I am leaving behind. If my new life is everything I ever dreamed it would be really is there waiting for me then I will be less afraid of death as it happens. Contrary to what many people think, my new life will not be about being rich, famous or a glamorous kind of lifestyle. No, I am hoping that my death will allow me to travel and land me anywhere in time and space of my own choosing. Now I know a lot of people are skeptical about time travel so was I at one time. Yeah I'm sort of a space cadet in many folks eyes. I guess maybe I have watched too many "Twilight Zones" & "Tales From The Dark Side" but hey, isn't that how humans have progressed as far as they have? Whatever one can dream we have pretty much done. We built rockets powerful enough to get and land us on the moon didn't we? So ideas like that had to come from somewhere, they came from the hopes and dreams of human beings. Space travel went from someone's mind, dream and into a tangible reality. So who's to say that we can't do the same thing after we die, only it will be easier because we will be on a whole different plane of exisistance and there life will be more of an energy than a flesh and blood being. This way we will be able to live in any time period anywhere of our choosing in the entire universe.
For myself when I die, my dream is to live again in the early years of the victorian age when life for an average person was a simple one in spite of the lack of comforts we have today. No televisions, no computers, no indoor plumbing or electricity etc., the list goes on. People back then actually worked with their hands and got dirty and were productive citizens. They farmed their own food, raised their animals and treated their animals humanely when it came slaughter time, unlike today, people don't even treat their pets humanely. Men were men and they were the breadwinners and real fathers to their children, women were homemakers and mothers, always subserviant. Men did the back breaking work outside, Plowing, planting, harvesting and when it came to meating out the discipline of the children, that was the domain of the man, etc., women raised the children, cooked, cleaned, made all the clothing, when it came to washing, there were no electric washers and dryers, it was down to the river bank and she washed clothes by hand, or she would simply was clothes in a bucket at home then toss them on a flimsy clothes line outside. That's how it worked and it most of the time worked well. Men and women respected each other and one was no less or no more than the other. Both had equal worth. That is where with my death I am planning to land.
Back in those days neighbors worked and shared together there was none of, this is mine, that is mine, all for me and nothing for anyone else, like you see a lot of today. There is so much hatefulness and selfishness and no concern for anyone else in this day and age, its just such a sad society we now live in. This is not the kind of world I would want to continue to live in, I would rather die and live in a world where people care, share and help each other.
Actually I have always been taken with the victorian style of how people dressed. Men and women kept a decency about themselves and their children's dress codes as well as their behavior. Today people don't care about decency and parade around in vulgar clothing and speak with a vulgar tongue. Nothing sweet and charming about many females today. Even men today are no longer gentlemen, the sexes today have almost no class except for the kind where they think they are more or less better than anyone else. Their children are no better, allowed to backtalk and coddled to the utmost extreme, taught no respect or restraint. Parents today call it their child's right to self expression, I call it dribble and a blatant disregard of total disrespect for other people and property Children then were taught the value of hard, back breaking work on a daily basis and they became better adults and productive citizens of their communities. Children raised back then did not backtalk anyone older than themsleves, right or wrong they kept their mouth shut, bowed their heads, humbled themselves and showed respect for their elders, rightfully!! Neither the elder or the child was ever harmed by this taught behavior. Oh yeah well their were a few arrogant children who refused to conform to their parents expectations, there are always a few bad apples in a barrel. These were the same children who as adults became criminals or worse. They were less productive citizens of their communities. They would be the ones who were the equivalence of today's con men, always trying to get something for nothing and not caring about preying on the weak and slow.
The world I wish to live in is out there waiting for me after my death. For now I am forced to live on a planet where none cares about anything or anyone. A world where everything has changed and not for the better and each day survival gets so much harder. Living for the most part on this planet is about money and who has it and those who don't. The rich keep getting richer and ar damned near making anyone who isn't rich, an extinct species, the poor, and they are succeeding.
