Everyone gets one life in this lifetime. What we make of it is left to us. But after we are done here, where do we go? Heaven or Hell? Is there anything like it? I saw a TV show by Barbara Walters who talked about the beliefs of Heaven in different religion.
Christians believe that after death, they go to heaven where life is much happier. There is no need for sex in heaven as you have the joy of the Lord with you in heaven. But you do not go to heaven, if you do not have faith in the religion. But on the other hand, muslims believe that life in heaven is wonderful as you get to do what you cannot do or have on earth. That includes drinks, sex and such. They believe that virgins will be waiting for you in heaven irrespective of what gender you are.
Hindus believe in karma (and so does other religions) and in the end all the actions are accounted for and based on that balance sheet, God will decide whether you go to Heaven or Hell. Many religions have similar believes and faith that helps them to live their lives as better people on earth. But when I ask the same question to myself - "is there heaven or hell?", I come up with "No, there isn't." Why do I say that - Well for one, you believe in something that you have not seen or not sure of. We hope that life will be better in heaven and we will get to do what we really want to do while in heaven. This is a way of pacifying our minds that we will have a better life after death. Then what is the purpose of this life that we are having on earth. We should be able to do what we really want to do in this life, instead of hoping that we will do something better in heaven or afterlife, which you are not even sure about.
Bottomline is, do what you want to really do in this life. Be the real person you want to be. Live a better life that you wish for, in this life and stop dreaming or thinking about afterlife or heaven or hell. Nobody will see what you are doing in heaven but people see what you are upto in this life. This is your life and the only life - live it the way you want. Be with the ones you really want to be with and enjoy everyday of your life as if you are going to die tomorrow. Have fun!!!
