Quiz: What would you like the afterlife to be?

Now, I am definitely not trying to start a discussion of religion or of whether there is or isn't an afterlife.

I'm not asking about God!

I just want you to use your imagination and pretend that you can spend eternity in any setting you like.

What do you envision? An ocean? A spa? 24 hour sports? Pizza and beer?

In my eternity, I would like to live next door to a library that never closes and is constantly updated with only books that I want to read, and I can go to it whenever I choose, and I don't have a deadline for when the books have to be back.

A home theatre, surround sound, all my favourite DVD's, and a stocked library at least as big as a football field.

I'll have to go with Bart Simpson's vision: when we die, we can come back as whatever we want. I'm coming back as a butterfly. Nobody ever suspects the butterfly.

I would love to be happy, financially free, thin and can go to any store that I want to shop at, I want to have pretty skin and good food.

I hope it's pleasant.

Knowing the answers to all the questions I ever had. Being just pure energy and able to go anywhere (like other planets) in the blink of an eye.

the library thought is good for me, as long as my sisters and my daughter and my mom are there too! that would be Heaven for me, to be with all of them again and books everywhere!!
what you and Fran said.. though it'd be odd to have sisters. [I never met].

On the beach, where ever there is perfect weather.

Not sure, just something exciting and unimaginable without pain.

A beach with a library perhaps... or vice versa. :-) I'd love a wonderful restaurant with delectible food and the ability to eat all that I wanted without gaining weight. Love and joy, all my family and friends living in peace and harmony with others from around the world. A wonderful reunion of sorts where we bask in the light and love of one another.

I would like my afterlife to be varied and changing with obstacles to surmount (which I do manage to overcome) and meaningful successes to be had. Somewhat like my life is now. I am having a good time.

These are great answers. That's exactly what I wanted!

I told my husband I deliberately didn't get into who was there. Obviously, I want my mother, father, him, the kids all on my street, but the only ones in the house next to the library are me and him. Everybody else lives next door or further down the street a bit.

I just hope the next incarnation my energy decides to reside and play house in, is smarter, more equipped with intestinal fortitude, able to grasp true humor from wit or sarcasm and is NOT FEMALE ! ugggh the woes . . .

What the aha moment means to me

A place where I can never get sick, and I can do the most enjoyable things all the time. I don't really know where that would be but if there is no illness, that is great. If you could live forever and never get sick, that would be great.
