Chapter 4 Do we survive death?

I have pondered the thought of what actually does happen to a person after they physically pass away. MacDougall researched the theory of the human soul weighing 21 grams, in which after a person’s death the actual body weight is lighter. Life after death is a prevalent subject in modern rap such as 50 Cent states “Death gotta be easy cuz life is hard”. Do a person’s actions and decisions in everyday life affect them in the after life? If this were a proven fact would people behave differently? These are questions that are interesting to me to find out what theories seem to explain these unanswered questions best.

Chapter 13 The meaning of life?

At this time in my life I am beginning to realize that in order to achieve certain goals I will have to invest in achieving them. The meaning of life is important to your happiness in the long term. Some specific goals in order to achieve a certain level of happiness are a stable happy family, which entails being a strong provider for my future wife and children. In order to understand the meaning of life I believe we should have a purpose in life with goals to measure your success.

Ledio,

In glancing through the chapters--in order to pick which ones interested you most--did anything your read there challenge some of your preconceived notions about these topics? I'll be curious to see which topic you choose.
