Avant-Garde.

Life after Death.

Life after death. The biggest conspiracy of all.

Now does the afterlife really exist?

Or is it really just a myth?

Are heaven and hell real?

Or are we just descending into eternal sleep?

Some say death itself isn't real.

And that we continue to exist linearly.

Science explains death as ceasing of all brain activities.

Religion says death is the souls departure from the body.

Now what are we supposed to believe in?

Eternal sleep or eternal peace?

Are souls even real? Is there an end to souls?

What are souls made of?

What is the purpose of a soul after death?

What is ' out of the body' experience like?

How can we differ life from death?

I mean the feel of it. What is the difference?

Some say that death is peaceful.

How is it peaceful and what awaits us in heaven?

And if in hell, how does it feel like?

Coming to talk of it. What is eternal sleep.

You just lay there motionless like a statue?

What is the point of it?

Life and death.....what if death is a myth?

I mean what if it's just an illusion.

Einstein did say death was an illusion,

And that we move onto a different universe.

But what if life goes on and there is no death!

What if heaven and hell are nothing but what we feel here on earth itself,

In life happiness meaning heaven and pain meaning hell.

What if there is nothing else.

With your last breathe you just cease to exist?

No afterlife, no sleep, just plain complete silence...

Well that surely is scary.

Are we supposed to fear it?

Or are we supposed to embrace it?

Is death the devils work? Or is it Gods calling?

Caught in-between all these questions.

With none of them even at the edge of being answered.

I just hope that one day all of us will find the answers to all the questions

And that we will eventually be finding the rightful end we all deserve.
