When you die, you just die. No ghost, no reincarnation, no heaven. People want to believe that their souls live on or whatever, but that's only because they can't handle the idea of the world going on without them.

If we were to understand life in a different way, we would be able to live it in a different way. The world would be a better place if we all understood that.
