People too willingly believe in an afterlife, some place beyond some veil, for a soul to travel to.

But if an eternal soul is real, why would it go anywhere? When untethered from the body, why wouldn’t it be left behind in that part of space the earth voided at 30 kilometres per second?

Billions of consciousnesses, each alone, in space. A line of disembodied souls, billions of kilometres long. Isn’t that more probable than an afterlife?

Maybe that’s dark energy. More probable, certainly more measurable, than heaven or hell.

I don’t want to believe that the mind continues beyond death. Drifting eternally untethered in the emptiness of space would be awful. But reincarnation into a new life on earth would be worse.

There's nothing left in my life, save the memories. And I need somewhere to save the memories, because more days lie behind me than ahead of me.

Once upon a time, I built geocities websites. Maybe I can bury my memories here, like I used to save my dreams and plans on those long-lost pages.
