Souls are eternal.
At least that's what I think. Granted, I haven't been to church in years, so mine is probably headed right for you-know-where, but I think I'd rather think that what we are doesn't just fizzle into nothingness once we reach the end of the road, because then life would seem a bit pointless. We're born as these wildly different creatures from anything else on the planet and then everything that makes us the person we are just stops existing as quickly as we were born. It's pretty sad when you think about it. So, I'd like to think that what makes us... us lives on in some way, I suppose. Best case scenario, people's souls just get recycled or something and everyone gets unlimited tries at different lives or something like that.
I dunno, I've never really given much thought to it until now, if that wasn't immediately obvious.
I agree with you, that as crazy and wildly different everyone is, that we must live for something. I don't know if all souls go to the same place, but I would hope mine went to the good one. I can see that if you lived a bad, hateful, evil lifestyle, that your soul wouldn't be as good as a soul that lived a nice, peaceful life. Your other scenario sound cool too, depending on what your soul got recycled to. I am all ears to hearing more on this topic.
ReplyDeleteI think it would be extremely nice if our souls were to somehow recycle and we get unlimited tries at different lives like you said. It would be even more interesting if we could be able to compare and contrast the multiple lives we had lived as well.
