Note that you also use the words "believe" and "perhaps" in the same sentence. How can you believe in something you are not sure of?
You also say that, once we have passed, a time will come when we will be able to process past experience and will also be able to make choices on what will happen next...on what grounds do you base your postulation? Is this something that you would like it to be? Something which is more acceptable and therefore comfortable perhaps?
