I think Shakespeare calls it about right. He describes death as;
"The undiscover'd country from whose bourn
No traveller returns,"
and correctly identifies that it;
"puzzles the will"
None "KNOWS" despite one's protestations and surety. We can only guess and believe, as fervently as you will, that which makes us comfortable.
By choosing this life alone, I concern myself with each precious moment here and do not concern myself with that which makes no difference to me, the person or intellect that I am. Supernatural musings I leave aside as a distraction from that which is.

Thanked: 50We had an old family friend, a much wiser man than I, who would react to the death of someone by saying, "Now, he knows."
Better than "So it goes," no?
