Imagine three legends or myths:

a) Existence of the eternal soul;

b) Existence of eternal hell;

c) Existence of an extraterrestrial paradise.

These three entities, institutes, were created at the time and in the context of the new testament, in the old testament never mentioned, on the contrary, it was the instance called spirit that means a state of behavior of a person, an object, an era, a a moment, then spirit meant only a momentary disposition referring to a state of an adjectival situation.

So, Buddhists started the belief of resurrection and metempsychosis that it would be the essence of a personality of a living being to remain incorporated after its death in another living being, plant or animal.

Socrates, condemned to death, to comfort his followers in the face of the inexorability of the end of life by the death to which he was condemned, true, - the anticipation of death, since we are all mortal, - then spoke of an eternal soul that would remain in a state eternal permanent traveling between the world of the living and the dead unmolested, was the hope that a part of him would never die.

So they soon thought of a place where sinners would pay and atone for their faults, both the errors and the criminal and criminal omissions after their death, of course, to compensate for the evils never punished by human laws, they had the eternal punishment of the soul, or the compensation for the humble and suffering there was paradise for the soul.

Many questions remain without the slightest explanation because if the soul is life without a physical body, which cannot feel pain or pleasure, without being able to eat and drink, without being able to sleep or rest, without having to work or sit because it does not have a body to get tired and without sexual distinction, what is the use of such a soul if it cannot even communicate with its living beings on earth, and those on earth cannot converse with the soul of a dead person, everything is completely useless without purpose, because repentance, punishment or forgiveness cannot erase and undo any act committed, so the doctrine of eternal punishment or eternal bonanza is meaningless and rational, useless, useless, meaningless and inexplicable.

Just like Christianity, socialism-communism promises something that never existed and if it exists cannot be seen or achieved on the universal material plane that never existed in humanity, and that human civilization has never experienced and we do not even know if it is possible, and if possible. we don't know if we're going to like it because no one has ever experienced this socialist-communist paradise without a lot of pain and suffering, giving up freedom and pleasures of lust, wealth and irresponsible and ephemeral abundance that provokes the envy and admiration that is the greatest sin admitted by the miserable and unfortunate marginalized from the system and excluded from the affluent society, whether due to birth or due to hereditary conditions and contingencies or environmental contingencies that cannot be changed only with internal or external will.
