The answer to that question is a matter of opinion. Many people believe in some form of afterlife, which involves either going to heaven or hell, or reincarnation. Others believe that death is oblivion. You can only be sure what death is like by dying. But if death is oblivion, you still won't know what it is like even when you are dead. In any event, enjoy your life while you are still alive.

Through natural or intellectual means, no one can be certain; it is unclear whether or not something of us continues after death. But the thing that is hardest for us to give up, even harder than giving up wealth or influence, is our own egos, our sense of self. Especially in western cultures and in teachings of many religions, there is a persistant belief that the individual person continues to exist as an individual. It is not by accident that pride is widely considered among believers to be one of the most serious offenses imaginable. Apart from standard religious teachings which are taken on faith and therefore beyond refute, there is no evidence or argument that we will continue somehow as individual persons. What if there is something, but you will NOT be the individual you are now or any individual at all? Is that oblivion? Is it a frightening prospect, or is it freeing and enlightening? As a concept, certainty is seriously over-rated.
