I am not interested in discussing evidence pro or con in this thread. I just wanted to know would you change your outlook about life? Would your beliefs change?

If you knew absolutely that death was final, would that impact your everyday life? Would anything change?
My whole approach to life would be different. I would be forced to use the "you only go around once" philosophy. 

I would be much more focused on making sure I made absolute best use of my time to accomplish goals. 

I would be less focused on things that didn't relate to my accomplishment of stuff.

I would be empathetic, but only to the extent that it wasn't a major impediment to what I wanted to get done.

I would be less open the idea that we are in the business of having experiences and negative and little experiences may be just as important to us as big accomplishments.

I would be less willing to go with my heart and do things that could lead to unknown results but that felt right.

I would be less willing to listen to intuition because it would not be based on a hidden truth

I would be convinced that those who "worship" are delusional
