There is no after you die. While I accept that energy can be neither created nor destroyed, so there is a theoretical possibility of some our brains' neuro-electrical impulses surviving after death, I have no real belief in any sort of afterlife.
I assume that when I die, people will mourn, my body will be cremated and all that will be left of me and everything I was is whatever I managed to do before death. If that's not an incentive to be a good, moral, and decent person, I don't know what is.
After I die, I won't care what happens because I'll be dead. The thinking mind cannot conceive of the unthinking mind, but having been under anesthesia with no dreams and no consciousness, I feel as though I have a fairly decent idea of what 'death' will be like.
Unthinking, unknowing, nothingness.
Have a nice day.
