Afterlife

I have this idea on the afterlife, though it's more wishful thinking than an actual belief:

What if we all go to the same place, but how we treat others in this life is how we will be treated in the next life?
Does this apply to all species, or does it single out just ours?

Do bears get mauled to death by other animals in the next life? Do golden retrievers get furry and slobbery yet lovable kisses?

True, maybe just the feeling that others are treating you that way.
What mechanism would get people to feel the way they are supposed to in such a world?

Probably God for a mechanism, not sure. As again I don't believe this is true, just an idea... But I think God isn't omnibenevolent nor the opposite, it cares about people who deserve to be cared about and God only thinks naturally, no subjectivity.

Not sure on animals, it would be logical that they do go to the afterlife as we do but as this afterlife idea is not logical just logical in being justified I'd say no they don't...
