Interesting statement, Froix.
You say that you "want to believe in the afterlife" and yet you don't. I find that odd because your beliefs are your own choices. If you truly want to believe something, then you will believe it. If you don't believe it, then you don't truly want to. There is no outside force that can make you believe something that you don't want to believe any more than there is any outside force that can make you disbelieve something that you don't want to believe.
Your statements leads me to the conclusion that either
- You actually do not want to believe in the afterlife.
--OR--
- You actually do believe in the afterlife but don't want to admit it (perhaps to yourself).
It doesn't matter to me if you believe in an afterlife (I'm not here to convince you, although I certainly would be happy to discuss it with you), but your statement suggests that you aren't being honest with yourself or at least aren't taking responsibility for your own beliefs. If you want to believe something, do so. If you don't want to, then honestly state that you don't want to.
