Child, there are parts of you that were conceived in the heart of a star. You are a very important part of this universe and it is here you will stay.
You need not fear any hell that exists in your mind. You are a child of life and life has been a wonderful home for you.
Because you asked such an adult question, would you rather I lie to you and treat you like a child or tell you the truth and respect that you can handle it ?
The truth is... I don't know.
I also don't believe that there is a heaven nor a hell.
Both places would be cruel in my opinion.
What if I told you that after you die, you get to spend several years with everyone who loves you and then slowly you fade away into the night ?
Well, you have been living several years with everyone who loves you and soon it will be time to fade away into the night.
This life is our heaven, but it's not forever.
And that's why it's so wonderful.
