I get the feeling that if there IS an afterlife, it will be full of the same drudgery and unfairness as our lives here. The idea of a 'heaven' where everything is fun and perfect all the time just doesn't match up to reality for me. It seems more likely that any afterlife, being full of human spirits, would be just as bad as the world humans have made here on Earth.

Oblivion and nothingness could in fact be a blessing when compared to the possible alternatives. Heck, imagine an eternal paradise where everyone was happy - but you still carried all your emotional baggage with you, and could never find any rest or any peace and no one could understand because they just expect you to be happy.

Humans are complex beasts, and I feel our perception of a possible afterlife is often rather simplistic.
