Now, I may only be a fairly young person - but I've had more than my fair share of pain and death. Okay you want me to tel you a bit? this is about 8% of my share. So, when I was 5, my nan had a fall trying to get chocolate and broke her hip - then she was diagnosed with dementia. We had to move house and take her with us, to where we are now. Until may 2007, we had to cope with her. She hit us, shouted at us, hallucinated, Fell, was double incontinent and so much more. My childhood was just wrecked I can't say anything else because it was. Then she suddenyl died. Juts like that. In the night. It was actualy scary. Her skin was yellow. She had been sposed to die for a year before that. But she hadn't. And it evern had to be investigated because apparently she hadnt been 'predicted to die recently' yeah like! She was 94 years old and my family has Von Willlie Brans Dieiease which is like hemaphillia but like 10x worse - so barely any of us seme to live to that age.So my dad had a nervous breakdown. Blah. and I still get shouted at every night. But I am just saying by putting this. I am sure even though this is 8% of what has happened to me death wise - that people have had worse. And that when you read this after coping with a death, you'll think 'oh, im not the only one'. People aren't alone in this. That took me long enough to find out.

Death. That is the one thing people fear most. More than pain, hate, losing your keys, even going mad. But why? Why are people afraid of a new adventure. A chance to restart? It's because you don't actually know what is going to happen. You believe and hope, if you are a christian, that you/they will go to heaven. You hope you/they wont suffer. But the only actual way to proove this is to die. It is strange - when people are resucitated they don't remember anything of death. Why? We will never know. But one thing should be certain - you needen't fear another life - an adventure. You should embrace it. Yes, as the Buddah once said (christian as I may be I know) 'The only way to conquer death is to accept it and to accept life' And that is actually what you need to do. I've had to cope, I think, with more than my fair share of death in my lifetime. But I have coped. And it has made me stronger. I believe that people I have lost are happy.

We all have our differents perspectives and general ideas on life and death, the afterlife and immortality. But which of these are actually the reality? Can we ever tell until we have done them? Is it really possible to predict whether we will go to heaven or hell. Or whether our souls will haunt the earth forever. Is there such thing as a ghost? Lets take a look. We have many different religeons among us, and all divided into different denominations. But which of us is correct? Or is everything just one big swirling mass of everthing - or just nonsense? Lets take a look at Christianity - we're looking 2000 odd years ago here. Jesus and all. It was frowned upon - big time. Jewish reliion too. Only Romans were allowed to have their religion. Let's take a look at those who really stood up for their religion... they were burned or crucified. Not a nice output. See - ther has always been debate and rivalry between religions - even between the denominations. I know this from personal experience. Now, christians all believe that you can believe you can go to Hell or Heaven - and some beieve to Limbo which is basically in the middle and being eternally 'forgotten' or 'stuck'. I would guess most of you reading this want to go to heaven. Well that means you've got to be good and respectful. Not judging. Some other religions, believe that your spirit never dies but stays on earth, and some believe that you have to journey to the underworld to find haedies - to be punished with everlasting tasks or to be taken to a place of peace and tranquility to live out your immortality. But can any of us really tell who is right or wrong? I believe and agree with christians - being one myself. But I used to be entranced by buddhist religion when I was younger - and still am quite fascinated by their ways. I have tried enlightenment at the age of 7. Unluckily or luckily? It didn't work. That was when I was mixed about beliefs though. So, so we can truly debate - please fil out the poll! Emily (please note I can only mainly focus on christianity as I am anglican - COE denomination in christianity. I don't have as much knowledge of other things so please feel free to add!!)
