When you die, there will be nobody waiting to greet you
There will be no white light, no reunion with loved ones, no long gone pets, children or parents.
Friends who died before you won't meet you in the afterlife, and there will be no paradise.
That is because there is no heaven. No hell.
Just now.
Just here.
If you regret something you did, you will never have a chance to change it.
All we have is now - RIGHT now, as a matter of fact.
Spoken like a true addict.

You had better hope you're right, "hot shot". Otherwise you'll have all eternity to contemplate your willful ignorance.

"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."
C.S. Lewis
A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.
John C Calhoun, "Disquisition on Government", 1840
