How did you come to terms with Death?

[Ace Otana]

I fine it funny that you can come to grips with being nothing for a eternity and not being with God for eternity. Who would really trade the latter for the first?

For me, I am not trading one reality over another. I'm not opting for oblivion over afterlife. I am in the sole interest of what's real and true. Not what I want to be true.
I want to see reality for what it is, no matter how bad it may be or hopeless. I do like the idea of living on, not forever but considerably longer than the lifespan that I currently have. This I know is wishful thinking. I don't lust for an afterlife, but an extremely long life right here.

We don't get to choose our own reality, we can imagine our own and pretend it's real but never can it become actual reality.
We all will have to face reality one way or another. You can spend every hour believing and praying for an afterlife and by the end, still end up in oblivion.
I'm not choosing oblivion over afterlife, I'm only interested in what's real.

Also heaven is beyond your imagination. It isn't like the world where you play a game and after while you get bored. There is no boredom. Therefore you wouldn't have anything to worry about.

It's fun making up stuff isn't it? Believing it to be true gives you a sense of false security but makes you feel comfortable. To believe that your going to your own made up place when your long dead.
Hey, I can make up stuff too. When I die, I'll fly off to The Shire in Middle Earth where I'll spend hundreds of years in peace.
It's great how you can make up your own reality like that. Such a shame that so many fail to see it for what it really is. Wishful thinking, false beliefs.
