Hi,
ReplyDeleteI just read your story of the Underworld - by the way, beautiful - and, maybe it doesn't interest you, but still, my view of the underworld and afterlife is pretty much the same, but with one difference: when you are to be at the fields of Asphodel and are judged to stay there, i believe that if you see someone you knew in your life or even loved, you remember a part of your life, the parts with that person and have a spark of memories and happiness apart from wandering some fields.
Thanks for listening.
