The kindest thought I can impart to you is:

There is no afterlife.

This life is enough.

It is the thought

and delusion,

the egotistical dualism—

of an afterlife-life—

which spawns all our

problems,

distractions

entitlement and neglect—their

empty promise of

a lack of fear at the time of death,

which is not worth

all the unnecessary pain

and the severe

Confusion, wrong decisions—

Cruelty,

Privation and

Suffering they embody and inspire and engender—

in exchange

for a few un-gauranteed moments

of delusory “comfort”

It is the fact of the end

of consciousness—

which makes

every moment

Precious

Death is being forgotten

by survivors, who cared—but didn’t know:

The Afterlife is in those who remain—

Once we are free of every single pain—

and who

Cultivate their avatars of us

In their minds—

That place we affectionately call

“The heart”
