    I personally believe that if there is an afterlife, you’re the one responsible for how happy or punished you are. Everyone goes to the same place, but they experience different levels of comfort based on their own assessment of their life. This happens at a deep enough level that you can’t lie to yourself about it.

    Basically What Dreams May Come style.

      Other than the psychopath angle, there’s also those who are mentally ill and/or delusional and believe they’re terrible people when they’re not far off average, maybe even better.

      Likewise, perfectionists, but maybe I’m repeating myself.

      Got to hope that you’re not right for their sake.

      Personally, I’m hoping for oblivion. Like it was for the billions of years before I was conceived, I assume, not that it’s possible to remember that.
