Gazing into the Abyss

What is it about death that fascinates us so much? The thought of death and the afterlife had been on my mind for days, so as soon as I had some time on my hands, I decided to take a deeper look at the subject. Humanity has sought answers for these questions-and others-since the time of the ancient Greeks and Hebrews. Is it possible to "survive" death? Are we going to recognize ourselves? Will we get to see the people we have left behind or the people who have gone before us? Will our actions in this life be rewarded or punished? What happens when we die or when history finally ends? What will be our destination?

Roman Othello had a peculiar obsession with death. What happens after death? Is there an afterlife?
He isn't sure but he sure as hell is gonna find out.
