Heaven and Hell fantasy or reality? |

That is very interesting topic and we all had some relationship to this topic. Probably more often in old time and now more developed the technology not so many people believe in such places.
When I was a little child I always heard from my grandmother about Heaven, that there is a place where people go when they are old and that they are happy and healthy and free there. That people have their deserved rest and that place has everything.
Understandably, as children we also wanted to go to this magic place but I remember the expression of my grandmother's face, how we made her laugh and she said that for us it is a long time till then and we need to live and experience a lot till the time comes and we will also go to this magic place.
My grandma never told us about other place called "Hell", maybe she did not want to scare us but maybe we were good kids and it was no reason to make us scared.
Later on, of course, I heard some stories about that bad place where some bad people go after death and will be punished, burnt in eternal fire. I was worried and swore that I will not do everything so that I never have to go to that place.
While we are grown up, we still have the thoughts about "life after life" in our mind, although we do not imagine that as it was presented on the beautiful paintings in Palazzo Ducale, Venice. Maybe we just want to know what it is and how it looks like.
We all heard about the light and tunnel and that our soul will fly through it towards the Heaven, often that angels will guide us through that path. Maybe that is ideal way of what happens after life and I am absolutely happy with this idea of Heaven.
As to another panel on image above, that represents Hell, it is dark, there are some creatures that will be torturing the souls and there is no peace. That is how the ancient artists imagined the picture of Hell.
I believe in the past churches often gave such requests to artists to decorate their walls and when during service people visit it, they then have something to be scared of and to be good members of society.
Nowadays, we all make our own decision and often even though we do not believe in such places like Heaven and Hell, we still try to be good and not to do anything that on our "Judgement day" will be used for the judgement of our live.
As to me, I really do not know if I believe or not, but nobody knows for sure what is happening with our souls after death. The one thing is for sure, our souls are an energy and energy can not disappear, energy can be transformed from one to another condition, that is why I hope that it is not an end but what is then?...
I would like to invite @davidad, @senehasa, @fadlymatch for this challenge
