So I was watching that movie Hereafter, and I began to think about what happens to us after we die. It's never been a thought for me before because I grew up Christian, and most Christians believe you go to Heaven when you die. I never really questioned that, even when I got older, even through my doubts, and then at some point I just didn't care about where I went to after I died anyway. But after watching that movie, I really examined my feelings on the subject. Anyone who knows me very well knows that I like having contingency plans - or in this case contingency thoughts. What if there is no heaven to go to after we die; what can I believe in instead? Pretty silly, huh? I mean, since I'll be dead, it really doesn't matter now does it? Anyone who knows me really well also knows that there is a scientific mind packed away in here somewhere, so this is what I've come up with: In physics we learn that matter is neither created nor destroyed, and it has been scientifically proven that when we die we automatically lose weight - a few grams. Does this loss of grams represent our souls leaving our bodies, I don't know, but I do know empirically that matter is neither created nor destroyed. So my contingency thought is that the energy, that made us uniquely who we are (you may call that a soul, personality, what have you) , goes into space - unbound by gravity, and it drifts, maybe running into other energies as it travels. And there is the imprint of memories on this energy, but no feeling, only weightlessness and a sense of vastness.
What do you think?

I used to believe in Heaven and Hell and an afterlife that became the hand of justice. Now, I believe that what we do does follow us, in the way we treat each other, the way we love each other. What memories we leave are directly related to how we touched others. Not how we were loved, or how happy we were, but how we loved others, the good we did.
