Where Dead Go

Although the place where the dead go is called the world beyond, some say that it’s located underground while others say that it’s located in heaven above. Since the world beyond is not the real world where you and I live, it doesn’t make any difference whether you go to heaven above or netherworld below the majority of people, when their time comes, whether they lived their lives virtuously or not, they want to go to heaven rather than the underworld. Because the underworld is dark, chilly and damp, moreover, time doesn’t move forward but is still, people suppose; heaven is warm, bright and beautiful with seasonal changes in colorful sceneries. The thing is, though may it be human nature to choose heaven, to me, rather hard to comprehend is the one who asserts that they are the ones who will enter heaven wearing a garment smeared with covetousness and hide their deformed ugly heart in it. Most men who allegedly say that they will go to heaven are those unable to see their own blemishes, no matter how big they may be, because they are so arrogant and self-centered. Nevertheless, they spot other’s flaws so easily, no matter how small they may be, and scold them severely because they are self-righteous hypocrites. They donate a fraction of great sums that they collected from many tenderhearted good people in the name of God or of charity and boast on themselves though they appropriate the rest of the large sum for their purposes, as if they sacrificed a lot of their possessions and precious time, as if they were the most caring and understanding human beings. Though they ill-treated their own parents they shamelessly tell others to respect their parents, they are deceptive pretenders. They are men able to trade their own brothers for any price without the pangs of conscience though they once swore before God that they would be faithful to their brothers. For those human trashes insist that heaven is theirs though the men who qualify to enter heaven humbly lower their head without a word, perhaps Peter the owner of the key to heaven, is troubled badly with men’s ignominies; it would force dignified rigorous Yama*, the lord of hell, to smile a grim smile. *Yama, the Chinese and Hindus King of Hell. Hades of the Buddhism.
