What’s After? (Week 6)
Suddenly thought of a question when my classmate asked during seconday school. He once ask, what’s after we died? My answer to him was, everything would be like a dream? When you are dead, you closed your eyes and it feels as if you are sleeping. And, you would be in your dreams, forever. So, what’s the definition of death? From the dictionary in our macbook, it stated the action or fact of dying or being killed; the end of the life of a person or organism. It’s the end of our organism, but, what about the soul of a person? When a person dies, does he or her really leave the world? Quoted from the sixth sense film, someone said, “When people own things and then they passed away, a part of themselves get imprinted on those things. Like… fingerprints?” So, even if you die, something from you would still be left on this world. Your last breath? Your scent? Your feel? And of course, your fingerprints.
Heard many stories about people coming back to life when they are on their verge of death. Like those people whom their heartbeat stopped and then the heart starts beating again? They said that they have visited hell and so on. Of course, all of their stories on hell are different. No one have really been to hell. And, if someone went there, they would really be dead. How to tell us the story about what’s after death? When you heard those stories from people whom almost died, for example, in a car accident? They might say there would be flashed back about the past. Those things which they have regrets and those things which they wish to atone for? Is it true? I have never been on the verge of death before, so, I can’t answer the question. Some people might also say, when they are on the verge of death, they would see their process of growing up. From baby, to a child, to an adult and so on… I don’t know about that.
Life is fragile. And I believe that, everyday, we are doing some killings. Ants. Just walk on the ground and you might have just killed some of them. It is inevitable. Even if you tried to aviod the ants, which I think it is quite impossible. Those food you consumed, they are once alive. Chicken, Pork, Fish, Beef… Even vegetables are once a living thing! So, killing are inevitable. The most cruel living on earth is of course us, human. Now there is global warming and the weather is so hot! Who causes it? Us. The ozone layer are depleting and are we trying to salvage it? And we are complaining about the hot weather, whose fault was that? (Ok, I am one of the person complaining about the weather.) For now, the weather is hot -> we turn on the air con -> CFC are emitted -> ozone layer deplete again.
Some people saying that 21 December 2012 is doomsday. True or false? Maybe till then, we will know what’s after death… But, there was a prediction of doomsday a few years ago, right? It didn’t happen at all. Now, true or false?

i hav been wondering about wads after death for quite some time too… but after that near death experience with an excavator during NS, i stop thinking bout that already. During that very moment, only 1 thought flashed across my mind – i still dun wanna die!
so, why worry about the unknown when the known is worrying enough already. for know, i just want to die without regrets. So, till the day i die then, i will not worry about after death.
So let the revealing of the mystery of what is after death to some other people while we keep ourselves with other more important issues like storyboard and podcast, LOL!
