Right. I think there was some form of existence before life began and the same after death.  At the time I had a near death experience I remember a sensation of 'coming home'. Hmm..

Ecclesiastes 4:2-3 says the dead are happier than the living..' no more ups, downs, sideways or whatever. Being atheist I doubt any judgment,  heaven or hell and stuff. Just a different dimension of existence. 

Life's a b***h and then you marry one ...

Life is either what you make it, or what you allow it to be.
Truly successful people tend to live by the first ideal. 

It's up to you...
open heart to love
life is good.
...and then you die?
haha only physical body dies
you just move on to the 
next phase,
move out of present digs
and into another life.
...it only gets better...LOL

One way of looking at it.  There are others as well. 

Not for every one I feel.....:)

My fav quote is Life’s a bit*h and then you die.   It feels like that at times for many people.

 

right

It depends on your definition of 'mean'.

Life is not a sentient force ... so it is neither "mean" nor "kind".  It just is.

Yeah, this place is a real shethole.

? 

Not even.
