Tidal wave, smidal wave.

I'm working on a homework assignment for my Life Span Development Psychology class. I have to write about my perceptions on death. I'm glad I had to do this. I got a new perspective on just how much hope Christians have. We have TONS of it. Yes, sir.

Come rain, shine, recession, automic bomb.

Who.
Cares?


"Death means cessation of physical life and continuation of the human soul and spirit. In this case, I will define the soul as having psychological and perceptual components. Putting aside religious beliefs, I have often questioned why humans exist. Is a purpose given to us or do we make our own purpose? If continuation of the soul and spirit is a false belief, why keep on living day after day if a person believes, “This is as good as it gets. After I kick the bucket, that’s it for me?” It could be argued that beliefs of life after physical death is a system set up so people will continue living, but I if I adopted that ideology, I would still wonder, “Why should I make my life the best it can possibly be?” What’s the purpose of working hard and having warm memories in life if you will forget them completely? Why enjoy anything at all if life ends with a piece of ground and a slab of stone with your name on it? There has to be something more than this.

I strongly believe and have total confidence that when my physical body dies, my soul will continue to live in a place of total peace and joy for eternity. I will even have a new body that is perfect and will not need to sleep or express sorrow or terror or even eat. Death is the best thing that could happen to me. This does not mean that I want to end my life today. I absolutely enjoy living and get great satisfaction from it. But to die would be infinitely better. "
