I don't believe it's greed wanting to know that you'll be OK after death.

No its greed before getting to death. To many Chrisitans want money & power.

It is an inherent knowledge that our souls are eternal yet our physical bodies only last a hundred years or so. It's how we care about our eternal souls that will determine our life after death. Death is just a gateway to the next life.

No, its just a natural curiousity. Everyone would like to know what happens, but no one does. So, people are curious about it. It has nothing to do with greed.

I don't think so. The desire for God and meaning is embedded in our soul.
No one knows exactly what heaven will be like but Holy Scripture and Church teaching do give us some idea of the great joy which awaits us. What we do know is that "No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him" (1 Corinthians 2:9; Isaiah 64:4, NIV).
The greatest joy of all will be our ability to see God Himself as He really is. "Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known." (1 Corinthians 13:12, NIV)
We will also be able to enjoy the company of Jesus in His humanity, with Mary His (and our) mother, Saints Peter and Paul, and with all the saints in heaven; including those of our personal families who have been judged worthy.

No, it's trust and faith. And I wouldn't use the word crave. I would use, look forward to!

no. its just being scared of death, knowing it will happen, but hoping that you will still live afterwards.
