How come when one lives, they're afraid of death, but when they're gone, they don't come back? Is it better than living?

"My dear gnaveirrac, you must know that everyone and everything on earth dies. No one, now living, sees, hears, smells or feels them again. The finality of those facts sometimes causes fear for a lot of people. Most of those, faced with death (the end of everything), feel the need to contemplate a spiritual being consigning the dead to "life forever" in a place called heaven. Most of the time, this belief heals much of the fear through faith in the "spirit." I really don't fear death much anymore ...and life is really a great thing because it's the only thing I know concretely."

It's called 'downsizing'. Some come back because they have things to learn here and they missed it the last time around ...or the time before that...or the time before that...ect....
How many generations do you think are left? Seriously think about it.
And as far as ....'what is better?..'
You gotta make the best of wherever you're at. Hey, if your gonna be here....or there. May as well have fun.
But still get your chores done and your lessons learned..~wink~

people with great understanding of life does not fear death but looks forward to it. For as of people who have little understanding of life fears death.
I think it really is better than living for you are not taking any form, which makes a person imperfect. Also, prejudice does not exist for you are all the same. If I am to choose, I might choose death.

How do you know they have not come back? Many people believe in reincarnation which is a soul that has return to live life again, it is said that many have chosen to return to try again. Whether it is true or not is anybodies guess, but to say that no one has come back is as unknowable.

That's a mystery that no living person can answer. Until they, of course, die. Just enjoy your life. You can't escape death, and when death comes, you'll know the answer.

The next world is definitely better but only depending on your actions in this world your actions in this world determine your position in the next god has given everyone a designated time up ntil which they have a free will and can do what they wish, but then they must reap what they have sown and there is no turning back.

Who told you they are not coming back? Read some books by Brian Weiss for instance...

You do not get a round trip ticket when you cross over.
