So, what are your opinions on death? Is it a good thing or bad thing? Do you believe in life after death? If you do, do you believe that you have to achieve greatness? When you die so you go to another place, or become a ghost?
Not questions that keep me up at night, but stuff that I wondered about on the ride home.

It is sad knowing you'll never see that person again, but it will fade in time. You'll move on, just like many people do.
As for an afterlife, I like the idea of being reincarnated into different lives throughout history. It just seems more appealing to me than spending a few decades here, then the rest of eternity in another place. I'd rather live a million lives than two lives as it were.
But I'm not even sure there is an afterlife. The only sure thing is to try to do something worthwhile in this life, if you don't feel that living itsself gives your life enough meaning. Revolutionize something like many before you.
Become a household name like Benjamin Franklin, Teddy Rosevelt, and Elvis Presly.
