Will anyone care after I die ?

The Caterpillar and Alice looked at each other for some time in silence: at last the Caterpillar took the hookah out of its mouth, and addressed her in a languid, sleepy voice.

`Who are YOU?' said the Caterpillar.

This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, `I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.'

– Alice in Wonderland, Chapter 5

The question of mortality is something that has inspired fear and wonder since the human frontal lobe got big enough for us to start actually thinking about the matter. In the millennia since then, more possibilities have been offered than I could hope to catalog. Almost all of the answers fall into the category of there being no persuasive, reliably reproducible evidence to support them, but also no way to refute the claims for anyone who chooses to believe. Underpinning lots of metaphysical uncertainty about death, though, lies both a fair bit of physical certainty and an even more pressing philosophical dilemma: what is it that makes you you?

How can we be sure there is no Heaven, Hell, or Purgatory? Does anyone actually have scientific evidence against them? I don't think so. Nor, do we have scientific evidence that supports such beliefs. Can anyone doubt that in 100 millennia our rudimentary 2016 science will be no more relevant than cave-man drawings?

We already know that reality is not necessarily reality, because we all perceive everything differently. We can generalize what a groups sees and experiences, but we really can't be sure whether any of the things we know to be true actually are true. It could be that I am the only consciousness in the universe, and maybe I am making all this stuff up.

Given that my consciousness may have existed for trillions of years, I suppose anything could be possible.  Maybe I am The God of Myself, alone in a sea of vast nothingness, with only my thoughts propelling me a few hundred billion years deep into total insanity.

Sometimes I wonder, what would it be like, when I die?
People would sigh, cry, others would just stand by.
Some would lie, “Why did he have to go? He was such good a guy”.
I’d be laughing, and looking through their lies, from the sky.

Tears will be shed, I’m sure, by many of those,
“he was such a gem”, they all would propose.
despite the fact, when alive, respect in them, for me, never arose.
Funny enough, now they’d shower all their love, or should I say impose?

Some might be happy, or would they be? I don’t know.
For such hatred for me, no one did ever show.
Anyway, in my life, such people I’d always let go,
but one can never be sure of anything, is it not so?

Few of them would mourn deeply, their lives would go asunder,
for they’d be the ones who really loved me, up above, or down under.
Thinking of them, I realize bringing these thoughts to mind is a blunder,
but on some other days, drowned in melancholy, I sit, again, and I wonder….

At 21, I have gone through all sorts of opinions on what's real and what's not, and I have come to only one concrete truth. And that truth is, 'I don't know what I don't know', and that's that. 

Shame #FRAUDTERESA

It is really Saddening to see the twitter trend #FRAUDTERESA

Is this some joke???
She has helped poor and differently-abled people tremendo~usly during her life, and the work is being carried on by her disciples. A humble down to earth woman who came to India and offered her help all for free. We rarely did appreciate such an individual but when she is getting the honor she clearly deserves, it is wrong to deplore her.

Miracle or not...this wonder lady dared to touch lepers with her bare hands and give them food, clothing and shelter when the word itself was taboo. Not many of us know that at one point in time she was at loggerheads with the Vatican, because her own ideology of salvation, which was not accepted as per Vatican protocol. So what if she converted? So what if she found India as a destination where people can be easily obliged due to apathy? It's time to look inside.

I guess the reason for this upsetting trends is objection to her activities of conversion. I am not sure if she did it or not. All I know is that she was kind to strangers, which is something I would never have the courage to do. It takes a lot of courage to spend entire life serving humanity!

I don't endorse making anyone a godman or a godwoman.... but to take a dig at someone and to deprecate their noble deeds, in the off-chance that they may have had ulterior motives? Shame......!!!!!!

Regardless of why Saint Teresa served people, she helped real, living and breathing people who needed help, as opposed to the conservative fanatics who are calling out against her on the basis of abstract concepts like motives and morality.

What I personally believe is that your actions should translate into what you are. Deep down we are both moral and immoral.....It is hence your actions, that should define you.
Motives don't directly affect the world. You can be the nicest person who doesn't do shit to society.... !!!!!!!
Doing the right thing for the wrong reasons is far better than the alternative. The dying souls needed help and physical care. Ideas like secularism and morality didn't come to their help. So shut your face.
It is outrageous that this hashtag has even surfaced! Shame.
