So then there comes the question if there is life after death. Was there life before birth? Some religious sects believe there is.

Myself, and my beliefs. I live my life for today. I do not have any idea if there is an afterlife, or if there was a prelife. I don't know if there are ghosts. I'm not sure that our entire exsitence is nothing more than some sort of physcological experience that is only taking place in the mind, and our actual reality is something completely different (as was suggest in the movie "the matrix"). So because I don't know, and will not know. I live my life in such a way as to be happy. I firmly believe that misery is as much a condition of perception as is happiness, wealth, and love.

If you have doubts about my view of perception and happiness. As a person who has lots of money, what do they worry about, many of them worry about money. Ask a person who lives in poverty, not homelessness but just poverty. They worry about the same thing. Then ask each who they feel their true friends are. My guess is the one who has less money will have more friends they believe to be a true friend than the other. Ok so this is just a perception and opinion, however it is what I have come across. Not a scientific analysis or anything like that.

So to those of you who believe in spirits or ghosts, or those of you who might have some sort of psychic power or able to see the aura of people or things. If believing in those things helps bring you peace, and happiness. Then I am glad for you. If they cause you distress and worry, why do you persist in continuing to be involved in it?

To sum it all up. I believe in being happy, and doing what makes me happy.
