It's a nice thought Tabitha, but for certain no one knows anything before they're born and I don't believe we know anything after we die. It is true that the mind plays tricks on us and we see and hear what we want to see and hear, particularly in times of emotional trauma, like fleetingly seeing or hearing a much loved departed pet, thinking you see someone in the distance or shadows, coincidences that we persuade ourselves are real. For me it's all illusions that can, if we're honest be easily explained. I had a much loved uncle only a few years older than me, and just before he died he promised me that if there was an afterlife he would let me know. Well that was 21 years ago, and there's not been even a whisper! So I'm convinced there is nothing there and that It's all in the mind. I do however, believe in fate, and I know that compared to some, I have been lucky in life, my mother, after the death of my father before I was born, married a wonderful man, which gave me a very happy childhood, I was lucky with my own marriage which is now 51 years old and still full of love, two brilliant children and three lovely grandchildren who brighten our old age! |
