death is nothing, absence of everything, like a blind person that has never been able to see, they don't have "black" where their vision should be, they have nothing, like when there is lack of sound, there is silence, but much more absoloute.
And i guess with death, because there is no thought, you would have no way of knowing you were dead, or ever alive for that matter, or anything, complete, utter nothingness.
To me, even thinking about that feels "suffocated".

Or we might go to some happy afterlife, where we are rewarded for all the good deeds of out life, live through our happy memories, and enjoy that time with our loved ones.

It's obvious which is more appealing, but which is right??? well, we don't know because we haven't seen it, we can only assume, and personally i would assume that cat in the box to have died because it obviously would have, but.... there is allways the possibility of anything, and i think it will allways be an unknown.
But believe what you want, just don't base everything on there being something after all this, and wasting the life you've got now.
