Am I going to hell?
Are you?

What happens after we die? Since childhood I’ve been told that
reincarnation is the answer to the afterlife and that there are several
different levels of reincarnation up until the point of nirvana.
Basically, if you’re a good person, when you’re reincarnated your life
is better and you’re a more enlightened person. If you’re a bad
person you’ll be reincarnated as something worse. Perhaps an
animal or a person who experiences a lot of bad luck. i.e. if you
killed a person in this life, in the next life you might be
reincarnated as a dog whose abusive owner happens to be the soul of the
person you killed previously.

There are so many different stories and hypothesis about what happens after you die…

How come it’s so hard to believe that perhaps, nothing happens at
all? When I look at things objectively, I find it hard to believe
in my mind anything except the fact that we just…stop.

But then… how come it’s so hard for me to believe in my heart that my consciousness simply disappears once I’m dead?
