Honestly the longer I live and the more I experience the more I am convinced the earth belongs exclusively to the living. When we die we are among the billions that died before us. We're right with them............dead. I've had several near death experiences. Been in a coma twice and I can assure you when you are there there is no light leading you to heaven and no sign pointing to hell. I use to believe in an after-life, but after some thinking and the experiences I've lived through my best advice I can give to people is live THIS life to the fullest because I've seen zero evidence there is something else out there posthumously.

There have been so many people on this planet that pretty much every step you take someone has died there.

I don't know if there's any life after this one or not but I pray like there is and live like there isn't...
