Can't they discover the world beyond? Weren't they humans; don't they have the mind to move on and focus on something else, since trauma and grief will run its course, sooner or later, and not just haunt the living?

If I were a ghost, I'd be tired of acting like one... even if I was murdered or otherwise died untimely

With the exception of Casper the Ghost, I don't think I've seen the alternative take on it

heaven and hell are capitalistic too.

You know in Chinese culture, they burn those fake "heaven money" so the dead spirits have "money to spend"? Yea my parents do that stuff in lunar new years and other holiday stuff.

Lol thats just so ridiculous, I'm not gonna be doing these dumb rituals that my ancestors have been doing. Its the 21st century, I not doing silly spiritualism stuff.
