Billions of people on the planet.
If they have spirits when they die,
I wonder where in the afterlife
there will there be room enough
for billions of them and the trillions
of them already there.

Do you ever think about stuff like
that or don’t you care?

To speculate further, maybe there
is a set number, and that number
just gets repurposed as newbies
recycled back to this planet.

And if those spirits get good
enough and behave well enough,
maybe they get off the repurposed
cycle and kind of evaporate into
infinity. And as a reward, they
stay permanently blissed out.
