Answer:
I believe many people are more concerned with the after life rather than the present life because it is not happening now, while the present life is. While people may still live their lives in the present many are based on their beliefs of the afterlife. Evidence that shows people think this way, is things like religion. If someone is a Christian or Buddhist they live their life now based on what they think is going to happen in the afterlife. I believe a person's view of the afterlife affects day to day things that affect the life they're living now. For example, in the Buddhist religion if it is against their laws to sleep more than six hours, then someone who follows that religion is not going to do that now in their present life because of how it may affect them in the afterlife. A person's view of the afterlife definitely affects how they treat others because, if someone believes that there is nothing after this life then there is nothing for them to work towards in this life, so they may choose to live it however they want with no apparent consequences. This includes treating people however they want, kindly or maliciously. But on the other hand, even if people do not believe there is anything after this life they could choose to live it to their best because there will be nothing else. Others based on their view of the afterlife treat people a certain way because of their beliefs, Christians for example are supposed to treat everyone with kindness as Jesus did.

Answer and Explanation:
I believe the author, Ambrose Bierce, used the surprising ending of his short story "An Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge" to indirectly criticize romanticism. Romanticism is characterized by idealization of people, especially women, as well a the supernatural interfering in people's lives - among other characteristics. At first, that seems to be the path Bierce has taken with this story. When the main character, Peyton Farquhar, is about to be hanged, the noose of the rope breaks, and he escapes. He begins to swim and later walk back home, so far indicating an ideal ending based on luck and chance.
However, a more attentive reader already begins to notice something strange about all this. Not only is Peyton having alarming symptoms all over his body, but going back home would not be a clever alternative. The soldiers could very well follow him home and kill him there. It turns out that Peyton has never escaped. The noose breaking, his returning home and meeting with his lovely wife, all of it was just a brief hallucination. He dies hanging from the bridge. There is no romantic ending to this story, but a more realistic - and crude - one.
