We only get one go at life-when its gone it's gone, so make the best of it.
The only way you can live on is through your children and their children.
Why do some people have to think they are different than all other life? Why should sentient beings have souls but non-sentient don't? Look at the gene patterns, we're not that much different than a mouse so what makes us special?
Because we're sentient we have a selfish fear of death so we have to invent a second chance- eat, drink and be merry, there isn't a second chance!

Some incidents effect different people in different ways. I've had experiences and sure others have in which you've been in an accident and you escaped unharmed. Or something happens and you don't feel the pain in the same way. For example a few years ago I went head over the handle bars of my push bike and wasn't hurt. Sometimes these things are to do with attitude or a mental state. Have you seen children when they fall over and don't cry - it's only when their parents run over going are you OK that they start crying. So perhaps we are taught to feel pain? Another example is Budhist monks who can endure levels of pain behind the ken of the normal person.
Recently there was a TV program about a couple of men from South America who could pass electricity through their bodies and not get hurt or burned. So there are exceptions.
Fact is you can't prove we don't carry on after life or the opposite - it's only a matter of personal experience and personal decisions.
