Sometimes I'm inclined to believe that there could be something, other times I think there is nothingness. We stop thinking and are no more.
I think there is part of me that is scared of death, of being no more, so I allow my mind to imagine an afterlife. A place that we go back to, a place we were before life. And there we can meet those we've lost, and in what seems like an instant those who we've left behind, join us.
But then there is the rational and realistic part of me that knows we as people are no more special than animals or plants, and I've never heard anyone claim that plants go to a better place after their demise.
The whole heaven thing just seems like wishful thinking, it allows us to be alright with the fact of not living fulfilled lives, allows to turn from those in need, cause once there is a heaven, the poor and unfortunate will get their reward there and conveniently the bad people in life will get punished.
