Reply #176: Excellent points [View All]

As individuals, we humans could live much more fulfilling lives if from an early age we tried to fully understand and be aware that we only exist because of neurological brain structure. Perhaps though, from a social stand point, belief in an after life works better at holding communities together (for reasons to many and complicated to go into).

Some people get this hopeless attitude when discussing this and say stuff like "well what's the point in living then?") but that attitude only comes from what they've been taught to believe about their existence. They've been taught to depend on living after the body dies so of coarse they would find it emotionaly disorientating to realize that wasnt true.
