Writing Territories

Fears - Never succeeding
Annoyances - when people are mean
Accomplishments -  Good Grades
Confusions - Life after death
Sorrows - Losing my aunt
Dreams - Be in a movie
Idiosyncrasies - Making jokes at inappropriate times
Risks - I take none
Beloved Possessions - iPhone
Problems - Trying to please everyone all of the time


Life After death is a concept that really confuses me. I have been a Christian for all my life and they have always said to not worry about death because life afterwards is much better. I have several issues with this, but I will speak of mainly one. I am a logical guy, and I rely heavily on facts and proof. Since there is no proof of a life after this one, I am inclined to believe that there is none. One thing really stressed in church is faith. Faith in Jesus, faith that life will get better, and faith in an afterlife. This bugs me for a small reason, you can put faith in anything, but that doesn't necessarily make it true. I can have 'faith' that I am going to win the lottery today, but that doesn't at all mean I will win. Now, if there are concrete facts that the lottery is rigged and I have proof that I will win, that faith is more justified. So is there an afterlife? There very well could be. I have been taught my whole life to believe in one, and I think we should all live like there is one. As for the logic behind it however, maybe there are some things people just can't prove.
