[2021.08.10.Tue] 입이 트이는 영어 Afterlife 사후 세계

[Speaking] Talk about the afterlife
Everyone eventually dies. What kind of world exists after we pass away? Is it literally the end of everything? or is there another world that we are unaware of?
Some religions believe that there is a heaven and a hell. That’s why they believe that devout faith is important. Other religions believe that everyone had a previous life and their existence now depends on their Karma from a past life. That’s why they refrain from killing other living things.
Nobody can really know for certain what the afterlife will be like. I want to give my all in everything I do, so that I have no regrets when I kick the bucket. Also, I’ll do my best to love the people around me.

사람은 누구나 결국 죽음을 맞이합니다. 사후에는 과연 어떤 세상이 존재할까요? 죽음은 말 그대로 모든 것의 끝일까요? 아니면 우리가 모르는 또 다른 세상이 존재하는 걸까요?
일부 종교에서는 천국과 지옥이 있다고 믿어요. 그래서 그들은 독실한 신앙심이 중요하다고 믿습니다. 다른 종교에서는 모두에게 전생이 존재하며, 전생의 업보에 따라 현세의 존재가 결정된다고 믿습니다. 그래서 그런 종교적 믿음을 갖고 있는 사람들은 함부로 다른 생물을 죽이지 않습니다.
사후세계가 어떨지 아무도 확실히 알 순 없습니다. 저는 죽음을 맞이하는 순간 후회가 남지 않도록 매사에 최선을 다하고 싶습니다. 또한, 최선을 다해서 내 주변사람들을 사랑할 것입니다.
