A Story by idealistic_CMH
"

Why do we act the way we act? what is the meaning to life? what happens after we die?

"
Someone curious about the after life, And what the meaning to life is. She lived a full life, raised a family, had a long term career, made mistakes, felt love, felt heartbreak, learned different perspectives and mindsets. She struggled on whether there was a god or whether there was an eternity of darkness after life. She could never prove anything but she chose to believe in god because that is what made her happy. When she finally did die, she died with the knowledge of what the meaning to life was. She knew that she was given this life to learn and grow to become a better person. The day she died, she saw what the after life was. She recognized that her whole life had been a simulation she agreed to participate in at college. This realistic simulation was created for humans to learn open mindedness and knowledge without having to age to achieve that knowledge. With studies The brain can be taken farther than the body can. To her, the simulation felt like 82 years of living but in actuality it was 4 minutes and 32 seconds. In her actual reality, she is still 19 with a whole life ahead of her but now she no longer fears death. The simulation stops as soon as you are at peace with your death and as soon as you realize what's important, at that point the simulation activates your death sequence. She still has no idea what her afterlife will be, but now she knows that knowing is of the least importance. She knows that her happiness and others happiness is what matters. If believing in a beautiful death makes you happy, then she says "go for it."
