Ghost festival...

When we talk about Ghost Festival, most people will expect ghost stories to appear more often, either on television, or through a movie, and through other ways as well. It is usually around Ghost Festival that you will see horror movies screening in the cinemas, but strangely these days there are no new horror movies at all. Maybe the writers have ran dry out of ideas, or maybe the producers are not interested in them anymore.

Well this time I am not intending to keep on talking about movies and stuff. This time. I am going to give some of my theories about what happens after death. Don't worry, I am not in any occult groups. I am just a freethinker trying to think about something that is interpreted differently among religious groups. Here goes:

First question - Do we humans have such a thing we call "soul" in us?

The moment the answer is "No", everything is over. You feel nothing. You cannot hear. You cannot see. You cannot think. You are not even there. Try imagining yourself, your brain is gone, your body rots, or maybe it is burnt to ashes and sent flying in the sky, and you do not know anything that happens. If you ask me, it is the worst if souls do not exist.

But what if there were such things as souls? Are we still able to think? Are we still able to feel? We don't know unless we die. Do our souls become spirits? Do our souls leave our bodies? Or do they stick to them forever? Do our souls get a chance to have a new body and return to the Earth's surface as a newborn, starting all over again? Or will they forever be stuck in a spiritual state? There are just so many possibilities.

Moving on - So if ghosts exist, what happens to them?

For a freethinker like me, I am more of a non-believer than a believer, but I do wish they exist. I mean, would it not be wonderful if they exist?

Never mind. So what happens to the ghosts? Will they be able have a chance of rebirth? Or will they forever be stuck in this state and wander around forever? But if you think about it, for the ghosts to be stuck forever, there must be a lot "space" to contain so many ghost past all these years, and we are talking about millions of years! It is like no matter how small the ghost is going to be, there will soon be no more "space" to hold so many ghosts. Okay I am starting to get bored of this topic.

Last question of the day - What is the point of this post?

I do not know myself. I just find myself worried about death. I am scared. Everybody is scared. It is just that they do not want to show it. Only when I know that there are such things as souls and ghosts I will be able accept death. If they do not, I might end up trying to find ways to stay immortal, which is impossible. Whatever it is, I really wish they exist, even though I am a freethinker. Perhaps what allows us to feel and have emotions is our brain, but I really hope that is not it.

Well, hope I did not appear to be weird or anything, just expressing my thoughts on ghosts and these kind of stuff. Who knows, maybe someday with science we will be able to experience what it is like to die, other then Near Death Experience experiments. So that is all. I shall make it clear I am a freethinker who still wish that souls and ghosts exist. If I said something that is inappropriate or I should remove this post, just comment and express it, I don't mind removing this post since I am not satisfied with it. So till next time.
