I met my second husband on a bus. We looked at each other and that was it. We were both married to other people at the time and behaved badly, but we didn't seem to have any choice. We were very happy for nearly 50 years and would still be together if it wasn't for the bloody railways.
My view of the afterlife is that it's made of different levels, depending on how spiritual a life we live.
If we become too scared to confront the chief problems of our time, there is no hope of ever solving them.
