Now, what guarantees does Bourdain have that what comes after is better? I know there's an argument that there's nothing after but everything points against that argument, plus what if you find it's worse than what you had here and it's not as easy to get out? What arguments are these? Every logical or unlogical thing I've heard about death points to some sort of an afterlife. Simple thing is what does your sixth sense tell you? If there was nothing after for sure, most people would have left by now. Anyway on a different topic on the same matter, why is loneliness seen as a cause? How does relationships with other people bring satisfaction to ones' life? I'm the kind of person who finds satisfaction from creating things and developing solutions but not in small talk... Think about it... I am not saying that all humans are social but rather being social helped us survive in ages gone by a human who opted not to hang round his tribe- died!! plus we are not talking about you @2012 we are talking about him and he confesses that being 250 days every year on the road kinda messes up people. I can see where he is coming from on that as someone with a family and young kids aspiring to be a proper father but is forced to be on the road many months of the year... it's not an easy life. secondly, about the afterlife - it's a fairly new (and useful concept). We have been socialized to think about it from a very young age. want to test? just read your bible and see... it was not there in older days... it sprung up later. akina abraham (if the existed) did not have such a concept... heck you will notice it gets sneaked in as Sheol which is the fate of everyone (good and evil, animal and man) then get's polished until there is an abode for good humans to live (streets of gold and other things) and a different place for bad people... fire, brimstone and gnashing of teeth. nothing about the fate of animals later in the bible. the concept of the devil as well... it's not there through out but a rather new concept. Hindus believe in reincarnation and thus don't remember what they did before just that what they are enjoying/suffering now is a product of previous but forgotten good or bad. Something must have happened not just the travel. He could have worked over summer and travel with family as they shoot the episodes ( schools close for like 3 months) So iko kitu. Am I the only one who read his interviews? why are you doubting and it came from his own mouth? I will leave this here. https://www.yourtango.co...een-with-before-he-died

Divorce, cheating and being dumped is the order of the day in the western world. It's like catching a cold. I don't think this would be the cause. Huyu ni kuchoka na maisha.
BBI will solve it :)
