What Happens After Death: Is Heaven and Hell Real?

Good day to you, amazing people of Hive! You are warmly welcome to my blog. I'm @Youngezeblinzz, and Today, I’ll be emphasizing what happens to us as humans once we are no more. Death is one of the natural characteristics of every living thing, a debt that all must one day pay. We all often believe that we have both a soul and a spirit within us, but I sometimes ask myself: what happens to my spirit and soul when I’m gone? It’s a question that keeps me wondering and confused. Death knows no age, [Image Source](https://pixabay.com/illustrations/skull-bone-head-skeleton-dead-1557446/) being young and old, wealth, or not. It visits whoever it pleases. And when it finally does, people usually say that the person has gone back to their Maker. No one knows the time or particular hour of their death, but religiously, we believe in the existence of Heaven, Hell, and Paradise. Heaven is said to be an eternal home prepared for the righteous, while Hell is for sinners.

Some say religious leaders use these concepts to control or deceive their followers. So, which side are you on? Do you believe that Heaven and Hell are real, or do you see things differently? Another question that troubles my mind is: Who has ever been to Heaven or Hell and returned to tell the story? I don’t have the answer, but I do know this, everyone has the right to believe on what feels true to them. For me, I believe it’s best to live a good and honest life, leaving behind a positive legacy for those around us. In That way, even if there is no Heaven, our good deeds will still make us to be remembered with love. But if Heaven truly exists, our good works may earn us a place there.

We were told that God created Death to reduce the number of people on Earth. One day, God sent Death to take the life of a teacher. The teacher begged, saying he still had so much to do, to teach his students and care for his family. Death felt pity on him and went back to God. Then God sent Death to a student, but the student also begged for more time to complete her studies and make her parents proud. This happened several times, with a farmer, a lawyer, and even a president but none of them felt ready to die. (Haha 😅 Truly, life is precious to everyone!) Finally, God decided to blind Death so that it could no longer choose who to take, and ordered it to take whoever it encountered first. Thanks for reading through 🙏.
