No it is not stupid because just look at this crazy world we live in. So much evil and misery. There has to be something more to our existance than just the accumulation of all the worldly goods we can possibly need only to not be able to take on thing with us when we leave this life.. The hope of a better , happier life after this is the promise of Heaven, Nirvana, or whatever your religious or New Age beliefs tell you. The only things in this life that can bring happiness are a good family, good friends and a trusting faith in God and his plan for us. Put your faith in Him and you will be overflowed with all the happiness you could ever need ,,,in this world and the next to come. Peace to you...Stef

I don't think it is stupide to believe you'll be happier in an afterlife. I mean, you have to have some hope, right?
And I think it is possible but it depends on what you believe and your faith. I'm not religious at all (agnostic, actually) but I would like to think that once you die, you become whole and content with yourself. I guess that's why I don't really fear death. I fear the pain of death.

No not at all. Many people go through this process of thinking about the afterlife. As long as you are not too depressed in this life, which if you are you may require help. Religious people strive towards happines in the next life, so it's ok to dream, and in fact healthy to look forward to a happier life, provided of course it does come naturaly.

Well, stupid is as stupid does. Don't waste life by thinking about the afterlife. Enjoy the moment. The second. The day. Whatever of the present that you can... Focus on the present and you can find happiness. So, what is happiness to you?

Real stupid. Live this life as if there is no other else you surrender this life to the hope of another which may not exist. Doing that you never ever live this life fully. Always remember that we had an eternity before birth ofr which we were not conerned and we have an eternity after for which we should also not be concerned.

No, I don't think it's so stupid at all to think about how much happier one will be in the afterlife.

I definitely expect to be happier in the after life. There is no pain in Gods home only peace and joy.

No, it's not stupid at all. The afterlife is when you are supposed to be at eternal peace, so I suppose it is only natural to think that way.

I think if each of us is the best person we can be every day, we won't have to worry about an afterlife.
