According to the Eddas only two humans will survive Ragnarok?

Question

does that mean the souls of everyone that is dead will also parish?
or will they survive Ragnarok too?

Answer 1

It's not literal. I rather like Ragnarök as a metaphor. I think we're all the product of the trials we've endured, and hopefully the better for them. If the destruction of the world begets a new and possibly better one. The price of birth has always been death. The sooner we acknowledge and accept that, the sooner we can make our lives and deaths meaningful.

Ragnarök is however only a transitory phase akin to the night between two days, such as the winter between two summers or like a death that sustains another life. Creation and destruction are an endless process. The final creation did not take place in a distant beginning and so there is no sudden end. Creation and destruction are a continuous cycle that maintains time and space. All things are transient. The universe, the Gods, the Earth and all humankind are subject to the perpetual cycle. Eternity forms a spiral. All is restored but never repeated. Every cycle is new, unique. Just like every soul, you live and are reborn, but never quite the same as you where before.

*That is interesting. I need to find and read the eddas if they are in english somewhere. I am not that up on this myth, but don't they have a place where the fallen warriers go and a place for the people? *
