i actually agree completely. it makes perfect sense.
the afterlife bit though...i just don't know. just like i don't know if there is any kind of higher power or deity...i don't really think about it. it kind of freaks me out thinking about how much the human race will never know for sure during life. it's all a question of faith really.
