A clip from a recent post on Afterlifers...

Our theory was correct! by ANONYMOSES

Thanks for proving a theory I was entertaining...along with Jude, with whom the discussion was enjoined.

Our theory was that:

A. Those who look forward to Heaven AFTER life are generally content to make a Hell out of this one.

B. Others, such as Jude and me, are not content to wait and see. Instead we dedicate our lives to creating Heaven on THIS side of Death. Utopias are our metiers, or calling!


There are vast implications here. Pollution, the environment, the death penalty, war...all this that "afterlifers" are unconcerned by their spoiling. But we "thislifers-and-possibly-thereafters" find this all so counterproductive to a cleaner, more utopian world we all, after all, must share.

You are what is called a "Dystopian".

Personally, I'll take Utopia.


And lastly...any historian will tell you that the fact that many utopian communities eventually dissolve...is no sign of its failure. Everything dies. It's how you live THIS life that matters.
