A bit of a variant of other questions of this kind. This time the question asked is if you would want to have life continue after death, irregardless of whether or not you believe it does continue or not.
You could provide reasons why you want or don't want such a potential development.
Personally i have some 'reason' to think (mixed with belief) that life does continue. Obviously it is nowhere near scientifically proven, but then again neither are many mathematical hypotheseis which nonetheless empirically seem to be accurate.
But more important in this thread is the reason why you want or do not want life to continue. There can be positive and negative reasons,i suspect. Negative ones are easy to note: fear of an unknown development (a next "life" could be worse; after all fear of such nature already exists in this life, as to old age for example), guilt, or even some neutral reason like dismissal of all unproven beliefs (which connects to this issue in many ways).
A positive reason to not want life to continue? Can you think of any? Taedium Vitae (Disgust of life) has to be negative. Perhaps a higher moral stance on the ugliness of much of life?
I would think that, ultimately, it is not for us to decide (maybe it is, who knows). But here you can say what you think of this issue, and hopefully the question posed is significantly different than the usual appearance of this topic

) I'm not sure. It depends on what sort of thing I can expect in the afterlife, I guess. If it's the Christian heaven then I'm not sure. It depends on how accurate Christians have been in describing it to me.
