After death, do you want to exist somewhere ?

After death, do you want to exist somewhere, or not ?

After death, do you want to exist somewhere, or not ?

As a good memory from loved ones. No other way.

As a good memory from loved ones. No other way.

No other way to escape from existance ?
But, what if your loved ones would have turned into your hated ones, at the end of your life ?

 

[LuisDantas]

No other way to escape from existance ?

Dying is escaping from existance. You asked me to which extent and in which way I would want to avoid that, didn't you?

But, what if your loved ones would have turned into your hated ones, at the end of your life ?

No big deal. It happened often enough in life, and it ought to hurt a lot less in death.

 

[Breathe]

I'd prefer it to non-existence, yes.

Sorry! i think i misunderstood you, I thought you are saying, I cannot escape from existance till i have loved ones.

What do you mean by: "As a good memory from loved ones. No other way" ? Luis

 

[Rainbow Mage]

I definitely want there to be something after this or venerating the gods and my ancestors has been quite useless.

I believe in the gods and have had experiences with them so I know there is somewhere that they exist. I hope I go there.

 

[Erebus]

I don't really mind to be honest. Some form of existence that isn't hellish is preferable to non-existence, though if I did simply disappear I wouldn't be any position to complain or care.

What's the benifit for you by going there ?

 

[Rainbow Mage]

What's the benifit for you by going there ?

To be near to those I have honored, loved, and sought after. One day seeing the gods is something I very much long for.

I would willingly serve my patron, my queen Sekhmet-Mut forever in the Duat if she would have me do so.

She has been a true mother to me, loved me and protected me.

But, what will do there by staying there for ever ?

Well there's no agreement that its forever. One eventually takes on another body seems to be the consensus, but while I am there I would serve the gods and live among the departed in the glorious afterlife.

 

[StarryNightshade]

I wouldn't say I'd really "prefer it". If it happens, then it happens. If it doesn't, then it doesn't.

But if I had to choose, I would either say reincarnation or an afterlife that is a state of being rather than a literal place.

 

[Rainbow Mage]

I actually believe in an idea very like the Greek Hades if you want to know the truth. Except as I also hold concepts of the Egyptian neterworld, the gods dwell in Hades also, as that is the spirit world.

I don't take Elysium and the fields of Asphodel as literally as the Greeks did. They're states of being.

 

[BSM1]

I'm still just trying to exist in life. Death will have to take care of itself.

 

[YmirGF]

I'm as dead as I am ever going to be. There is only life.

As you will serve Gods, it means you will be SERVANT to them, Right ?
Like, the servants of this world always have the desire to become boss, Similarly, don't you will have the desire of becoming Boss/Gods while being there ?

Than who is speaking out there ?

No I wouldn't want to lord it over the gods, not that I think I even could. Its more a matter that the gods have won my respect and trust that makes me want to serve them. Wanting to makes a huge difference!

After death, do you want to exist somewhere, or not ?

"To exist somewhere" is a fallacy, a reification of 'being' and 'position.' After death, I will "be somewhere" no less than I am now.
