i guess most of us experience this before- the fear of death. 

and lots of programs and books tell you dont be then they will tell you that what you are afraid of is the uncertainty of death, moreover the afterlive. 

it's the unknown of future creates people's faith toward religion, formulate their attitude toward life and each other. 

if that's the case, why not think about the possibility of afterlive? 

i dont know if that's the motive for David Eagleman to write the book "SUM: forty tales from the afterlives" but the book indeed stimulates me, i think i might have the forty first one in my mind now. 

you can take this book as a fantasy without the flowery, pinky and bubble parts. 

based on Eagleman's knowledge of religion, science and philosophy, it's actually very engrossing in the sense that i have to be really concentrated on the words to understand the logic.

maybe the whole point of this book is about dare to imagine, dare to dream. at least, it makes me to use a lot of my brain. then i really start to cherish my time when i am alive. 

think about it, it's only one single topic "death" then he can make up 40 kinds of stories. shouldn't we see the world from more perspective?

i think the forty first tale from me would be...

after we are dead, we can finally get the chance to be the one we want to be the most as the reward of being human. we spend a lot of time when we were alive to become someone else but we never made it. so when we are able to make a wish in front of the almighty one we decide to become others. and maybe by then is the first time we really get to know ourselves.
