My view on life after death is that there is something. I'm not sure what, possibly some sort of heaven. I'm not very religious so I've been left to my own devices to figure out this important question. I think there are too many odd scenarios and coincidences after people die for life to be truly like a light switch-- on, then off. I think reincarnation is a cool concept. I have a friend whose mother is convinced that her younger brother is a reincarnation of her dead father. According to her, he knows things that he had never been told and even at a young age showed signs of being a similar person. Maybe there's a reason we are all strongly connected to certain subjects. I have no proof, but I don't really need any. I think that what you believe will be your fate. I saw a picture once of a gravestone that said (presumably it was not real) "Here lies an atheist all dressed up with nowhere to go". It was humorous to me and interesting to think about.
As for a legacy, I believe that the best legacy is left by leaving a touch on the lives of those after you (cliche, I know). People are remembered for what they did, bad or not, so I try to do things that I would be proud to be remembered for. I don't think it's a good idea to leave your legacy solely with money. It should be used to build a building or structure, fund an important program, or help the disadvantaged. I want to leave a legacy of helping others and making them laugh.
