I think the scariest part about this is the only way to find out the answer is you’ll never find out until you die… and even then you couldn’t tell anyone you were okay. I think sometimes we forget to enjoy life at its fullest, but if you die you’ll either forget about everything shut off eternally or be unable to communicate to any living relatives, you should enjoy life.
I've heard an alternative hell theory. It's so cold that you are in constant hypothermia. When you freeze to death, it feels like you're burning thats why some ppl take their clothes off in freezing to death stories.
I was 5 years old when I realised that nothingness was horrifying and that my parents would eventually die and that every memory of my blood line would eventually be forgotten
For me, I had a theory that might already exist, but it works like this: Every religion, theory, and belief exists in a web-like way, because some theories and ideas and quite similar to one another. Let’s say you believe there’s a heaven and hell, you’ll go to heaven and hell, so your beliefs affect the way you die. That meaning, every death and afterlife exists if you believe hard enough and do the requirements for it, like if you’re a Christian , you’ll go down a Christian life. Pretty much an afterlife will be your afterlife if you follow the beliefs and other things to it.
The scariest thing about nothingness is that you can’t think of anything either so it’s just you in nothingness with no thought, no mind, no emotion, no memories, literally nothing
Many people are afraid of dying and becoming literally nothing, so it is easier to believe that after death there may be a second life to comfort us from this fear.
