My troubles are many, they're as deep as a well
I can swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell
Swear there ain't no heaven and pray there ain't no hell,
But I'll never know by living, only my dying will tell,
Only my dying will tell, yeah, only my dying will tell

Until we have substantially more evidence of what actually happens after we die, I don't see much value in spending much time thinking about it. Why spend your time while alive worrying about what will happen when you die? Death will come to us all soon enough; that's when we will know. Until then, we have life to live.

I'm pretty sure that when I die no reminiscing will be involved.

What ever happened to the thought that when one dies they are dead and do nothing, they have no ability to do anything, they are dead.

Can't be afraid of what I don't believe in.

No matter what you do, you're still gonna die.
Just like everybody else.

I think each has their own idea of what's important in life and death. For some, as my late partner, tying up loose ends was very important. She made great pains to do just that (luckily her brain tumor only affected her speech). At one point I had to tell her I was still there and would do that for her. I have read the many make a great effort to put hings in order before they die and that includes me. When we first married my partner and I made a will and everything went to her kids (I had not heard from my daughter in years). As time went on her kids made it, financially and I became more involved in groups as FFRF, family planning and environmental groups. In the meantime my daughter as resurfaced and we have a great bond. My sister escaped Texass and now lives just an hour's drive to the north. Now it's time to organize and update my will and purge as much personal junk as possible. That is what's become important to me and I know there are others that feel the same.

Well, if there is a hell, there will be a lot of Christians living in it. However, I think that when you die your dead and that is about it. Made a good run and had a lot of fun.

People try desperately to convince you that Walt is really up there and when you die you can go to his land and ride his rides free forever. It will happen if you believe in Caesar and have a Holy Goat.

When you die, you're dead. Not a hard concept. But Oh does that scare the shit out of a lot of people!

No shit, Sherlock!

I’m sure some people may feel regret at leaving unfinished business at the point of death, but some may also be quite ready to relinquish life and happy in the thought that their struggle us over. We can’t generalise any more about what a person may feel when facing death than we can generalise about what a person thinks on any other subject because that varies from individual to individual.

Youth is wasted on the young, who have not the wisdom to use well it or know its power and value, and lost to the old who do.
