It’s not about life before birth and life after death that is the question.

I once was interested in what happens after we die, too, but it didn’t last and now I have no sympathy left for word-users that worry about what happens in the afterlife, where the soul goes after they die, and the fear of no life after death. What happens after death? I wouldn’t be surprised if they even worried about how to stop worrying.

Why not worry about life before birth instead? Where is the soul before we’re born? The fear of no life before birth? How to stop worrying before birth?
“There is surely nothing quite so useless as doing with great efficiency what should not be done at all.” — Peter Drucker

What these professional worriers ignore is what’s going on while they’re busy worrying.

  • Worry feels necessary but serves no purpose. It doesn’t eliminate tomorrow’s troubles, only today’s serenity, the least effective way of spending the energy and time that thinking takes. “Worrying is the same thing as banging your head against the wall. It only feels good when you stop.” — John Powers
  • The only thing that matters is the journey after birth that everybody reading this is on. All else is a waste of your energy and time you’ll only regret sooner or later.
