afterlife

Sometimes you wake up in the morning and ask yourself, "do I have to get up?" I ask this question myself everyday but sometimes I feel like "do I have to get up?" from life. You know, many people always ask themselves if there's an afterlife. If there was an afterlife, then it would mean that we are still sleeping? In other words, we are living life as if we are sleeping. When you sleep, you dream and the dreams you have sometimes feel like reality. Whenever I am awakened from a nightmare, I always ask myself "wow, that felt so real?" Don't you feel this way too?
So, anyways, all I am saying is that if there really is an afterlife, then is life really a dream. Some people refer to life as being a nightmare. I refer to life as a lecture or lesson. Some day when we leave the earth, we are bound to be somewhere whether your religion believes this or not. How is it possible to live your life freely and know that some day it's going to over? I know that this it is too early to think about death but you never know. (sorry to bring you down but I am just really interested to hear your opinions about life and even life after death.)

There was an early Christian theologian named Iranaeus who explained the existence of evil by saying that mortal life is a sort of training ground for heaven- that we can only achieve that sort of prerequisite divinity by experiencing hardships on Earth. If "life" was perfect, we'd have nothing to learn.

Yeah, actually when I was discussing this blog with my mother she talked about Iranaeus but failed to mention that he "explained the existence of evil by saying that mortal life is a sort of training ground for heaven". She told me that he said something about life not being perfect and how it is created to be a very important lesson.
