Quote:I am explicitly not conceiving of the next life as an external reward for this one but as a natural outcome of one's search for virtue and happiness in this one. If I am hungry and make a sandwich for myself, is the sandwich a "reward" or a consequence and consummation of previous work?

I see no reason to see the next life as a natural outcome of this one. The natural outcome of this life appears to be death and no more.

Alright then.

Suppose you are a young guy who just got his Bachelor's degree in, say, computer science. Your whole life is ahead of you, full of plan and prospects and excitement. You go to Florida to unwind from the stress of your studies and exams. It's all nice and restful, until one day you are swimming in the ocean, and everything seems irie, mon, and then a shark bites off your head. In your opinion, is that f***ing all?
