Nobody knows, and that's that.

Be patient, the answer lies next to you on your deathbed, not down the barrel of a gun.

The one thing that 'makes sense' about karma is the whole idea of action and consequence. Which is like, either logical or the biggest logical fallacy (Just World Fallacy anyone?) there is to date.

This is coming from a Buddhist, by the way. In the end, I'm like...

Because your gun is a battle cannon. There would be nothing left.

Wait... is "gun" a euphemism for "penis?"

Only when it's a "love gun".

Sure, I believe in an afterlife. It's probably a nice place, too.

I also imagine that this would be the welcome song. If so, then it'd be awesome. Guess I'll find out whenever die.

Who wants to be blown from a gun?

Seems like a fairly painless way to die, actually.

Do you remember anything that happened before you were born? Of course not. That's what happens after you die. I do understand how people may find that terrifying, but personally, meh.

Just be thankful you're not in the pool. The pool equals death.

No I actually play only grand strategy games and rpg though I keep up to date with all the game controversies.

On another subject look at the time I need to make macaroni and cheese.

Sure it is. Buddhism has like a million different planes of reality you can end up in, heavens and hells, and whatnot. Depending on who you ask.

And? You received a very large electric shock. How near you were to death is impossible to tell, since you were by yourself when it happened.

I was just wondering. Also, how would have it been easier to tell how near I was to death if someone else had been present?

As a sidenote, where I lived back then house power was 220V, so I don't know if that's worse or better

That's not what I was referring to. I was addressing the "soul" bit. That sounds more like Hinduism or Jainism.

Sun, I like you and all, but please check out your reading comprehension skills. I was referring solely to the system of rebirth. Hinduism has an entirely different version of reincarnation than Buddhism.
