There is no bigger mystery than what happens to us after we die.

But even those who don't practice an organized religion tend to believe that there is a Heaven, a happy joyful place where our souls will remain for eternity.

No two people share the same idea of what heaven would be like, but everyone who believes in it probably has an idea of the first thing they'd do after entering the pearly gates.

Redditor WeDidItGuyz was curious to hear what would be top on everyone's list upon entering the afterlife, leading them to ask:

"If heaven exists, what’s the first thing you’d do?"


Overcome with joy

"In all reality?"

"Probably cry for about 30 minutes because the biggest existential fear at the very core my humanity has now been lifted."

"If Heaven exists, like 50% of the awesomeness is just the very fact that it exists."

"We arranged for a race but he was shot multiple times and bound to a wheelchair until he passed a few years ago."

"I wanna race him both in our prime."- Abethegreat1

Who knows what's in store for us after our lives come to an end.

But living with the idea that something wonderful awaits when our time has come is all people need to continue to live their lives to the fullest, and treat others with the respect and kindness they deserve.

With advances in tech replacing jobs previously worked by humans, we're living in advantageous yet very frustrating times.

Cab drivers in major cities bemoaned the shortages of customers who have become more inclined to order rideshare services that are conveniently accessed by phones.

Many public transportation hubs like train stations are also starting to see fewer ticketing agents as vending machines and virtual tickets have become more prevalent.

Well, that depends.

Because there are plenty of industries that are more sinister in nature that shouldn't be around anymore.

Frightening as it is to consider, organized crime is still running rampant all over the world.

Helping them get away with it is the fact that these criminal organizations operate other businesses, up to and including laundromats, restaurants, casinos, and real estate, to cover up what they're really up to.

Of course, organized crime isn't always what we see in films and tv shows.

Indeed, many people believe that several businesses are, in fact, variations of organized crime.

Managing to swindle customers out of money completely legally.

Possibly even more frightening than anything we would ever see on The Sopranos.
