As it was in the beginning... whatever that means.

As we discussed in class, humankind is overly worried about events yet-to-be and what exactly may come after life. Some people make it their goal to figure out the mystery of what, if anything, comes after this nearly century-long roller-coaster ride. Many people are so sure (blindly, I might add) of what comes after death that they are willing to execute people who disagree with them. What comes next? Is there an afterlife in which we are judged to be good or evil? Do we reincarnate as another life form? Or do we simply turn into earthworm food after our soul dies with our body? These are questions to which we may never know the answers. However, is it so far-fetched to wonder instead what may have come before life rather than after? People can be so preoccupied with the future they completely disregard the past. The answers may be in front of us, simply hiding in our unconscious. Maybe rather than trying to unveil the future, we should simply sharpen the memories of our pre-existential past.
