Existence
My existence and the word ‘Eternity’ is way more scarier than death to me.
We all don’t know what happens after death. Well as a Catholic, I know that we go to heaven or hell. Or do we all go to heaven? Wherever we go, we go there forever.
But forgive me for thinking otherwise at times. What if there is no heaven or hell? What if it is just eternal blackness? Nothing but nothingness forever? The fact that I have emotions and memories makes it even scarier. The fact that I have life in me is scary too. To have such a consience. Whatever happened before I was born? Do you remember anything before you were born? Or even in the womb? If you say our souls remain alive when our physical self dies, then where was our soul before our birth? We were entirely made of flesh and blood and perhaps our soul was born then too. But whatever happened before? I remember dreaming. I dreamt weird dreams, after that, my 1st memory was me 3yrs old already. The scary thing was that when I was dreaming, I knew exactly what things were. I knew that I was looking at a waterfall. I knew it was a pond and I fell into it and there were pirahnas ravaging at me before I pulled myself out of the pond. But I had absolutely no knowledge back then. How can a baby mind depict such things with such knowledge and accuracy? There was definitely something before. Just what was I before I was born?
And even if there’s a heaven. To go there for an eternity, is something scary too. And I’m not even talking about hell.
I guess this is what happens when I don’t go church on weekends for 3 weeks plus. Sigh.
Toodles.
