We all go through this question during childhood - and we ask this difficult question to our parents (or guide)
Why do we have to die?
The fact that we are mortal, is sort of a shock - since as a child we just arrived in this world. And discovering that we are not knowing why we are here, what is our life purpose, and then we are confronted to the big question of mortality
What happened afterward, will impact us for the rest of our life
Depending on the response, maybe religion will be introduced, maybe a mere smile
maybe just a shrug of the shoulder, that is usually also when as a child we discover to our big surprise that parents, adults don't have all the answers...
But the fact is we HAVE to move on - we have to accept the fact, that nobody knows for sure what happened after we die, and this is the biggest design flaw of this life
From there will start - enormous pitfalls
- the comforting introduction of the concept of Heaven and an afterlife
But then will also follow the introduction of Hell, and the creation of Satan - the adversary, the evil demon - that will lead many into the denial of our responsibility ; and ultimately will make us powerless ...
All human knowledge bears the sign of its own restrictions, of its own ignorance.
Once we realize this - desperation may follow, or total indifference, and possibly the gratitude of realizing that nothing really matter and we might actually enjoy it for what is, and stop asking questions.
But just for a minute contemplate the immense philosophical shift that will follow the discovery - of what really happen after we die ...
