Of truth and life after death

Death is when life ceases to be. Yet, society has taught me to believe that it is in dying that we are born again. It is only through death that we could finally live the so-called eternal life.

Of course, the statements are contradictory, but is not that what most people believe that way? This belief does not need a proof for its justification lies on faith and faith alone. In a world that is dictated every detail of our daily life by religion, it is quite surprising that people dwell on this conviction, without really examining its authenticity.

Basically, it was a choice. People chose to believe that in reality there is no life after death, because we are born into a society that so requires. It 'was our choice to follow the dictates of society and be one of the crowd when you can go against the flow. We were the ones who taught us never to question such beliefs.

With eyes closed, we accept this truth because the Bible says so. It is not the Bible but a book of myths? How do we really know the characters brought to life, the Bible is fictional, like the gods of Greek mythology that had found the man of faith for quite some time? Greek mythology does not exist because the man wanted the truth about the mysteries behind the mundane things of life? He wanted to know why it rained, and this set of beliefs, Greek mythology, was the only source for quite a number of years before science brought the water cycle.

As can be assured that millennia from now, science will not be able to demonstrate the existence of "life after death, but an error, but the myth Another evoked by the exact same human trait that will prove to be the wrong?

It may be possible that the extinction for the thirst for knowledge (which may be either false or true, but how do we really know?) This set of beliefs and principles are simple, but the reflections of human desire? This is what we chose to believe because that is how we want it to be. Take the concept of heaven and hell, for example. Does human craving for rewards in exchange for his good deeds and punishments for his sentence hurt? Is not life in the paradise we call heaven reward the greatest man could ever have? We did not conceptualize hell as a place for the most important man can never receive punishment?

Other side of the coin, there is no life after death in the first place because there is science, our concept of reality behind. Science strongly opposes the existence of life after death, because no one who has seen death in the eye may be so. Can this be saying that seeing is believing? That before you can ever say that there really is something we need to see first? But all truths are visible to the naked eye? We can always be sure that the things we're seeing are not that simple optical illusions? Tell me, is not that science has introduced the concept of air? Now, is this thing that science is firmly convinced there is really visible to the eye? The cold is the absence of heat. Logically speaking, for there must be absent. Science was he who conceptualized heat, but then again, is a heat did you see?

Science is the only way to prove that something exists? Tell me, what is paranormal? " Are not "entities" that science can not yet explain? Therefore, if science is really the only thing that justifies how can this science itself acknowledges the existence of things that have yet fully conceptualized, even giving these concepts unexplained paranormal category? If the science itself has not considered this truth paranormal, then as we have justified their existence? What is the other thing, which surely is not science, that made us believe that these so-called paranormal exist? You may have faith?

For a long time, I accepted the truth that religion has provided long enough because I conformed to society. I chose to be a crowd that blindly accept the truth that religion provides only because the majority does not realize their ability to assess things.

The death was one of the greatest mysteries of life why can not live after death has chosen to reveal in front of him.

Regarding the question: "Is there life after death?" I can not give a definitive answer, I can only wonder. But then again, maybe this is good for its own mystery that haunts us still dust of life with color and magic at the same time.
