RE: Do you believe in souls (spirits)? - ¿Crees en las ánimas?
Dear @jadams2k18
Again, interesting choice of topic buddy. Great read.
I've been travelling across the world long enough to realize, that in some countries and cultures belief in spirits or ghosts is really very strong.
Europeans mostly do not seem to be bothered, but Asians are really strong believers.
That we believe in life after death.
I kind of envy you. It must be so much easier in life if you think that current struggles are just temporary and that there is another life ahead of you.
I do not have this luxury as I strongly believe, that our life experience is what defines us and it's all nothing but data recorded in our brains.
Once we're dead - our personality, our knowledge, life experience - it's all gone.
Even if there is another life, it means and matters as little as "last year snow". Why? Simply because our human form could be already one of many of our lifes, but we all act like it's our first life ever. So even if there is any life ahead of us - it will be just a brand new start with absolutely no connection to whoever we are now.
I know that we've different viewpoints. I would like to underline that even if I just see things differently - I still absolutely respect your view.
Yours
Piotr
This sounds like the beginning of a new and interesting post... Don't you think?
Your arguments are correct and valid. Imagine if everyone thought they could have another life to redeem or revenge themselves.
