This might be ridiculous to the realists out there, but I personally believe in spirits, good and bad. There are so many documented occurrences that have happened, vibe changes within places, and just a lot of unexplainable scenarios. Some people have the belief in spirits as way to comfort themselves; to help them believe that the reunion with their loved ones is a definite one. Maybe it's a stretch, but if these scenarios really can, and do happen there has to be something more out there than a life on average of about 90 years. Life goes by too quickly to experience everything in that short amount of time. Maybe theres reincarnation, and maybe there really is nothing, but who's to say there isn't a "what if" factor along with the whole topic?

Second Life
To be honest, I don't have a concrete answer about what happens after we die. With so much tragedy that has happened not only around the world, but also within the Keene High community, it's hard for me to say we just disappear when we die. You want to believe that someday you'll be reunited with your loved ones, and that it is a "See you later" not a "Goodbye". I feel like it's impossible to live life so quickly, die, be put in the ground, a wall, or cremated, and then it's just...over. Everyone makes life out to be this marvelous thing, and there's so much out there that we haven't even learned or discovered yet so why couldn't there be a possibility of an afterlife. Personally, I think us as breathing, alive humans can not say nothing happens after we die. We have no idea what happens, and the only people that do are the people that passed, and unfortunately we can't ask them what's going on out there.

As I mentioned on Caeley's post, I believe in spirits as well! I haven't thought about your perspective when you said that life is too short for us to just die and then have it be over, but now that I am that makes so much sense. It can't just be over. Do you believe in other realms where people go after the time comes? Not necessarily heaven and hell, but anywhere else. It's so scary not having answers, but I like your idea of what happens next and where we go from that point in our journey. Reincarnation is so interesting to think about. If you were to be reincarnated, what do you think you'd be reincarnated into?
ReplyDeleteI think we share a lot of perspective when it comes to this topic. I definitely believe in spirits too. I think I have had experience with them without even realizing it, and I think we all have. This post made me think a lot about how crazy our universe is. I mean, there SO much out there. Theres no way that aliens don't exist in some form and theres no way that there isn't a realm outside of our physical world that we are unaware of. This also made me think about how eager I am to experience so much of the world before I die. I want to see so many things and being stuck in Keene makes me so upset. Do you think that burial would alter your "afterlife results" vs. cremation? I'm the type of person who hates not knowing what is to come so this really eats at me. I could think about this stuff for days on end and trip myself out about what life even is and how were all just puppets of society and I feel like we think very similarly when it comes to this kind of stuff. Good post Marisa :)
ReplyDeleteI like the thought of being able to see loved ones after they die and the thought that there not just gone but you will one day be reunited with them. That's such a peaceful way to think about death and even though death is very scary you find a positive way to think about it. I think that's the best thing you can do about death. Im wondering if you have ever been in a paranormal type situation where you may have been visited by a ghost? Great post, I'm also very interested to hear more about what you think happens after death.
