When you die, do you think the question we all want to know "Why are we on this earth?" will be answered?

I don't think it will be answered when we die, I think we have to answer it ourselves while we are still here to ponder it.

I will answer it for you now. You are here on this earth for entertainment...sort of like a video game. The rules are set, but pretty much unwritten. The secret to winning the game is to be happy...pretty much everyone knows this, but doesnt know how to do it. The secret to being happy is to do good things for other people. The more you only do things for yourself...the more unhappy you will be. (I know kind of seems like a paradox doesnt it?) But look around you at who are the unhappiest people in the world...the people that are out for only themselves. They happiest people in the world are the ones who do whatever they can to make others happy.

If you don't know the answer to that when you die, I'm afraid you're going to have to come back here again to find out for yourself!0!

Perhaps and perhaps not.
Far better to do the best we can with this very moment. It's all anyone has.
What we DO know is that we ARE on this earth. That is a fact. The why of it is an imponderable.

I think it will be answered, because; our body dies but we are not essentially a body like Descartes said, we are a THINKING THING! Our mind continues to exist and human which is freed will find the answer of the question.

That is itself the question that will be answered when we die.

Yeah, just moments before you die.

Nope, because you'll have a new question: "Why are we in Heaven" or "Why are we in Hell" ...unless you are reincarnated, in which case the question will become doubly frustrating.

when you die there is only blackness,
without a live brain you wont have any thoughts.
