Stone Age

I would hate to end up like them, I want to enjoy life in the simplest of forms. Nothing fancy, nothing flashy just life! But that is the hardest thing to do in this goddamn century. With all this social media platforms, Its like everyone has to conform otherwise you are dubbed uncool. Or people just assume you are poor!

Take instagram for instance, everybody's life is awesome...literary! Everyone captions their pictures "my life is awesome" and don't get me wrong...I appreciate positivity but when its overdone it just has this fake vibe to it. Where did realism disappear to? People will take pictures(selfies) in other peoples cars and say, "this traffic is driving me crazy!" Bet it doesn't drive you crazy when you are in that usual matatu...now that's a selfie I would like to see. With that sweaty guy seated next to you photo bombing !! Others will post big bundles of cash that don't belong to them with the caption ,"we out here grinding!" Or "I hustle hard bitch!" What are you grinding on exactly?? ....okay somebody hand me a gun!! Something has to be done!!

So as a way of keeping sane...I uninstalled my instagram app. My watsapp too...coz am tired of people hitting me up just coz they are bored and have nothing better to do! If its serious or urgent enough they will find time and credit to scroll for my number and call me... or just message me old school style. Yes am stone age like that! :-)

Life after death

Just the other day a friend of mine lost somebody close to her...and I could not help but wonder what is the point of our existence or "living", if you want it to sound meaningful, if at the end of the day we just die.

I know most of our religions believe in life after death but to a critical thinker its just that, a mere belief. Yet somehow it gives an individual a deep sense of peace even at the moment of death...research shows that non religious people are most scared of death, I guess its because it habours within it the fear of the unknown. Its like being told to walk into a dark room all alone and you have no idea what awaits you...it could be filled with beautiful things and all you have to do is switch on the light or.....full of monsters waiting to devour you!! Or maybe its just that, darkness!! Endless darkness.

Some German scientist conducted an experiment with 944 volunteers where they would put them in a state of clinical death for around 20 minutes then resuscitate them.
The long period was recently made possible by the development of the new cardiopulmonary recitation (CPR) machine called the auto pulse. Now here's the Wow effect, the machine has been used over the last few years to reanimate people who had been dead  for somewhere between 40 minutes to 1 hour!!
Anyway, The purpose of this crazy experiment was to try and establish the possibility of life after death by asking the participants to try and recall anything that happened during the "minutes of death".
All the subjects had some memory of their period of clinical death, most common memories were a feeling of detachment from the body, feelings of levitation, total serenity, security, warmth, the experience of absolute dissolution and the presence of an overwhelming light.
Note that the religious beliefs of the various subjects held no base to their memories.

So there you have it, Death is not the "dead end"! There is life after death. Science just echoed what religion has been telling us all this years.
