Many ancient views of the afterlife were not as pleasant as the ones we have now-a-days. For example the one of the beliefs held by the Ancient Greeks was that, with the exception of a select few, Hades for the masses was a dark and depressing place where people remained the rest of days as simple shades of who they had been while alive.

This is just one example of one of many differing afterlife views around the world. What do you think will happen to you after this life? If you respond please include your name. Also please just try and talk about your own views, don't mock others.
