221. Thinking there is no afterlife makes real life all the more precious
If I thought I would meet people again in some new life, then I might be tempted at some stage to say "I've had enough of this stage - I'd like to move on to whatever happens next". But if I think there is nothing after this, then that would be pointless. Most of us still have good reasons to stay alive, and good reasons to work to make this life better; and thinking there won't be any second course makes it all the more important to make the most of this one.
