So hey you ever start to wonder random figures, like how many books you've read, or how many steps you've taken, or how many cups of coffee you've had, yknow? I'm sure NSA has this information and more to boot, but that's inaccessible to us normal folk. I just think it'd be cool. Like, imagine if when you die, an angel appears and is all like "right so you saved 2 kittens, talked 14 people out of suicide, helped 3 find love, didn't kill or damage anyone severely and weren't too 'x'-cist to people, so you get to go to heaven." I'd love to sit there watching all the people who bullied and hurt others get their cummupence and sent to hell. (I'm not Christian it's just easier to picture that)
Or alternatively, you get a massive list of stats starting with "x breaths, y steps, etc." I'd like to know how many words, then sentences, then paragraphs, then chapters, then books, then book series, then authors I had read. It'd be really fun to read them all :) What sort of stats would you want to know?
What an interesting idea. Wherever did you come up with it?
ReplyDeleteInteresting. I read time ago a theory saying that what really happens when we die is that we get to see, with deep spiritual eyes, everything we did throughout our lives and that would be our real "paradise" or "hell". Then we would be able to see the true intentions, consequences and opportunities to change, in all the decisions we took. Our hearts will be our own judge.
ReplyDeleteSo, I like to think that's the closest to justice one can get.
But if I could "see" my own history, I would like to know how are today all those beautiful people who taught me a lesson when I was alive. Did I manage to touch their lives somehow? Will I get to see them again?
Also hoping that.. what guided me through my life to did what I did, were true feelings of love. (Fingers crossed)
That would be enough stats for me :)
That is a really insightful post! Deep, beautiful and powerful!
