Lost Canvas

"Time is long but life is short."

--- Stevie Wonder



What is waiting for me on the other side? Religions give the solution of hell and heaven. Quite simple and seemingly flawed solution. Other philosophical/spiritual theories give the concept of rebirth and resurrection. I do not know what the truth is. I guess no one really knows.

The time after death, which is oblivious and ambiguous to all of us, puts forward various theories, claiming to give answers. I have read and heard of them. Each of those theories seems reliable only if I can believe. Sometimes, without questioning, without doubting. An absolute answer can only be absolute until it is questioned. I do like to question. When I question, I swing back to zero. Doubt reminds untouched.

Sometimes, I wonder what if there is nothing after life. A void. End. If this life is all I have, why am I wasting it on frivolous things? Why can’t I break the shackles and live on my term? Who is stopping me? Society? The people I care about? Or the program embedded in me since my birth?
