Re: What would you tell?
Take care of the people you care about, and the people who care about you, for its own sake. Don't do it for a reward after you die because you can't know that anything will happen for sure when you die, and isn't that a rather narcissistic approach to life? Do it because it makes the world a better place for everyone. This extends to not exacting disproportionate revenge on those who wrong you. Sometimes, people do bad things but aren't bad people, so think carefully and sometimes, let things slide, because no doubt you will, at times, do or say something out of character. It's not worth holding a grudge about is it? So be forgiving of the little things.
This all stems from my non-theistic non-fatalistic (don't know the opposite of fatalism) path that means you alone are responsible for your actions, nobody else. I am leaning to believe that some of the ancestors continue to exist after death and contribute to the maintenance of the world (the climatic cycles, the weather, etc) but do not actually control any life itself (ie you can't petition or request that they help you do better in your exams).
