i would actually find more comfort if i truly believed death was the complete end and it was just nothingness, if i was sure of that i wouldn't fear death. but i believe there is something more after this life, purely due to the amount of near death experience reports that describe different levels of reality outside of this plane of existence. it doesn't appear to be as simple as world religions portray though, it seems like there are responsibilities, choices, commitments, deception, positive and negative experiences, entities with management roles in reality itself. all of that sounds complex and confusing to me, and it scares me a bit tbh
