• Socrates faced his death sentence with bravery and calmness, believing that death is an opportunity to remove the material composition, which is our body and transcend his soul to eternity, where he can do the stuff he long wanted for.
• Socrates introduced the two possibilities of death: Dreamless Sleep, where his body and mind rest eternally, and Passage to Another Life, where he can mingle with the former philosophers and thinkers who already died and do the other way around.
• Epicurus taught us to appreciate this rare opportunity to do the best that we can and write the more or less 21,900 expecting days of our life into a good history not just for our loved ones but also to our country as well.
• Epicurus recognized that in this material world, we really experience hardship, sorrows, hunger, etc.
• Epicurus believed that if we will go deeper and calculate the negative experience than the positive one, there are more positive than negative experiences, like inspiring your crushes, eating your favorite food, your 8 to 16 hours of sleeping, etc.
• Epicurus' materialistic philosophy draws negative connotations on people who live in the poorest and neglected part of society in which basic needs such as physiological security is not achievable.
• FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) is a social anxiety stemmed from the belief that others might be having fun while the person experiencing the anxiety is not present.
• FOMO is also defined as a fear of regret, which may lead to concerns that one might miss an opportunity for social interaction, a novel experience or a profitable investment.

• The Trolley Problem is a thought experiment in ethics about a fictional scenario in which an onlooker has the choice to save 5 people in danger of being hit by a trolley by diverting the trolley to kill just 1 person.
• The dilemma of the Trolley Problem also arises to the question: what is your basis for valuing the five versus the one person you choose to die?
• Some people are so valuable that even a multitude of people is not equal to their achievement like the inventor of anesthesia, great generals of the war, inventor/discoverer of medicine who saves millions of lives from tuberculosis, HIV etc.
• The afterlife (also referred to as life after death or the world to come) is the belief that the essential part of an individual's identity or the stream of consciousness continues after the death of the physical body.
• According to various ideas about the afterlife, the essential aspect of the individual that lives on after death may be some partial element, or the entire soul or spirit, of an individual, which carries with it and may confer personal identity or, on the contrary, nirvana.
• Belief in an afterlife is in contrast to the belief in oblivion after death.
• Reincarnation (Rebirth) is the belief that a non-physical essence of a living being starts a new life in a different physical form or body after biological death.
• Nirvana represents its ultimate state of soteriological (theory of salvation) release, the liberation from repeated rebirth in saṃsāra.
• Samsara is the beginningless cycle of repeated birth, mundane existence and dying again.
• Heaven is often described as a "higher place", the holiest place, a paradise, in contrast to hell or the underworld or the "low places", and universally or conditionally accessible by earthly beings according to various standards of divinity, goodness, piety, faith or other virtues or right beliefs or simply the will of God.
