Are you scared of death? / what do you think comes after death?

It's best to think death is not total oblivion. In many ways, people benefiting from the things you did while you were alive is another form of existence.

When you die, your consciousness just stops existing. That's all there is to it really, there's no evidence that heaven/hell/purgatory/limbo/reincarnation/ghosts/spirits exist.
However, that doesn't mean everything is pointless. You should still try to enjoy life, and strive to make the world better - not because you'll be rewarded after death, but because your actions are your mark on history. You may not exist centuries from now, and it's unlikely you'll be remembered, but that's no reason not to try to bring happiness to yourself and others, since that's really the only thing that matters.
