paradise?
i don't get it.. people, some at least, say that when you die, you go to paradise. why? what have we done to go there? why do we deserve it? so, god just loves us so much that after he made us, he realized life was gonna suck so he made paradise for after we die? i don't really think so. existance.. it's weird when i really think about it. it makes me feel like everything's real. not like i usually do, but really real. like i live in an artificial world until i really look to see it exists. it doesn't make sense that after living, and that's basically all, that we go to paradise. sure, there's the people who do wrong that would go to "hell," but what happens to the people who don't do anything good or bad? that don't have a reason to go to either? are they just screwed over? and then.. paradise.. i'm sure it'd get very boring after a while. i don't think i'd want to stay there for forever, the rest of time, unless they jacked me up with happy pills. do people stay there forever? i'm sure there would be lots of people there.. do you stay in the form you are in when you die? the age? is it full of old people? just a big retirment home in the sky? i'd like to know those things..
where did we come from...
why are we here...
where will we go...
Lust asked two of those questions in the last fullmetal alchemist episode i saw, and now i'm starting to wonder again myself...

    If you believe in that, then the ones who are in-between go to Purgatory.
    You are having the same sorts of thoughts, the same general catagory, that i think when i get into a "down" mood. I think mine are expressed better. (that's cause i'm a writer. hah. beat that)
    If you think (if it exitst) that it's full of old people, think about this:
    How many babies die before 1 year of age?
    how many suicides?
    how many ilness-related deaths?
    cancer?
    drug OD.s?
    car wrecks?
    .....
    now wonder: there are billions of people in the world. our population is always growing. how many more dead can fit in there?
    do animals go there?
    do we even have minds? can we think or touch?

    well, i just mainly thought about when people die of old age. i probably shouldn't have put that in there.. and yes, i thought about it getting "full," but didn't really know how to phrase it. didn't really think of animals. that makes me wonder if we even have a "form" in "paradise." it's so confusing to think about, because we know absolutely nothing about it. anyone who says they do know about it is probably lying, or has false information.

    Phillip, to know anything about it, you'd have to be dead. And even the llittlest child knows that once dead, you can't come back.
