The Question We Can’t Answer

What happens when we die? Do our souls float around in nothingness, unaware of the world? Do we ascend to heaven like Jesus did? Or do we get another life? A life to try again, to do better. What happens when we die? Do we live on in people’s hearts? Or are we forgotten? Do we get to see our loved ones? Our sons and daughters grow up, make mistakes, find love? Is it hard? What happens when we die? Does it hurt to be dead? Do we feel things the same way? Do we see things that the living can’t see? What happens when we die? Do we haunt the living? Does the living haunt us? Does the dead talk with others that have died? What happens when we die? Do we lose our sight or hearing, touch or smell? Forever? What happens when we die? Do we party with our loved ones? With God? Do you hear God? See God? Do we even know that we are dead?

The Bible (not to be confused with religion) has solid, logical, satisfying answers to all these existential questions and more. I've been privileged to share them with humble hearts some 40 years now

GB, This one haunts with a gift. Fine philosophical introspective musing. Perhaps the last and greatest gift of all. Mortality and the day after. We don't now but we will soon enough. "/ -Richard
