WHY - A LOGICAL EXPLANATION OF LIFE
Despite the infinite value of life, someday you‟ll die. Why? What happens after we die? We don‟t know. We make up explanations about death that make us feel better about it, but the truth of the matter is you don‟t get to decide what happens after you die. What you believe doesn‟t change or prove anything. The only thing believing in an after-death scenario proves is you‟re too weak and afraid to admit your ignorance. You may think you‟re doing yourself a favor by creating an explanation to hide from your fears behind, but ultimately all your self-serving fantasies really accomplish is misleading you in life. Simply putting off worrying about death until the last minute isn‟t going to help you either because you won‟t be able to make the most out of life until you work through the stages of grief over your own mortality. Only then will you be able to soberly accept that you‟re going to die and get on with making the most of the time you have left in a logical, conscious way. In order to accomplish all of those things the wisest course of action is to just admit your ignorance and work within the parameters of the unknown.
The truth is we don‟t know what happens after we die. If the simplest answer is the correct one then our consciousness simply turns off and we cease to exist. If that‟s true then we need to ask ourselves, what effect does death have on the value of life? Does it render our lives meaningless? Does it matter what we do in life? Does it mean there are no consequences to our actions?
