Why? Because most people think there's nothing after death, or they will be sent to some purgatory or they will be granted a place in heaven. It's a wonderful feeling to know that when we die it's not the end. It may also create more interest in the book because it won't be our posterity that will get the benefit of this new world, but us. If that doesn't give you an incentive to spread this knowledge, I don't think anything will. |
peacegirl has explicitly stated that there is nothing after death for LadyShea, or Spacemonkey, or any named individual and that death is the end of that named individual. So any named individual's fear of cessation of that named individual's existence is not eased in the slightest.
