Why are we here in this life? Why do we die? What will happen to us after death?!

We’re here to pursue truth, goodness and beauty. What Tom is saying is true, shin splints is bad, and when I run in the country side I often experience the world as beautiful. We die because old people can be too certain they no the truth and young people are less certain so we need people to die to discover that which is true good and beautiful, and when we die nothing happens we just stop being conscious.
