Heaven, by it's very nature and description would force you to be happy whether you wanted to be or not.

It is devoid of anything bad including bad thoughts, so you wouldn't have to worry about that.

I agree though, staring into a perpetual nothingness would be very depressing.
I think our conscience would have to find some way of adapting to the loneliness though.

It would have to or succumb to insanity.

I doubt thats what life after death would be like. I believe that there is something more to it in which we do live on forever, but not in a void, but be able to create in a happy place when hopefully we all go to so we can interact with each other, not just memories of friends. What would be even worse is immortality. Just the thought of not being able to die and having to watch generations of your family die before you do. Having to live in possible future wars and til the time the sun eventually consumes the earth and still having to live after that. Immortality may sound cool, but it is the worse curse anybody can possibly have.

Immortality would only be bad if you were a good guy.

If you were a psychopath with it and genuinely didn't care about anything I think it would be pretty cool.

If I could choose to have it, I would.
As long as it came with the ability to revoke it at any time I wanted.

I doubt that would be physically possible.
To die yet consciencely still be drifting about Earth like a ghost,
I can't imagine it. I'm pretty sure the conscience is our mind so it would die.
If we were to go to Heaven and live for an eternity you are going to be happy.
Negativity is non-exsistant.

If i were to meet god in heavan after i die (i am religious so i believe it will happen) rather than to exist in heavan for eternity i wonder if god would allow us to be reborn into a universe of our choosing that isn't just like normal life on planet Earth?

Wouldn't it be easier to be as hollow as water, metal, or air? To exist and not exist at the same time.

Err. Water, metal and air exist completely.

I believe you mean to not be alive. If so, it wouldn't be 'easy' because there would be nothing. No life. You can't see, hear, smell, feel, or taste anything. And you wouldn't know that anything is anything. I'm overthinking this. I could go on forever, because I could not possibly be capable of knowing what nothing is. Theoretically, there is no such thing as nothing.

Nothing: Not anything; no single thing

Being said that the word 'nothing' is a pronoun, it is describing a noun, but what could is be describing? Since nothing has to be describing something, "nothing" is not in existence.

There is no nothing. What I just said is not a double negative. "Nothing" is something with no physical property. But if nothing is describing it, then it must be something. But then again, it is nothing.
I'm going to dwell on this for weeks.


I went far off topic on this one. I envy the individual that understands the concept of nothing. If anybody that read this understands what I'm trying to say, thank you.

If we existed alone, what is stopping us from imagining ourselves in a world, much like the one we are in now?Maybe that's what we're already doing eh?

You just blown my mind.

this honestly put another scary thought of death into my mind
