Can Life's Choices Actually Make Us Punished In The Afterlife?

Inherently and essentially, most of us are all chasing fools gold. Happiness and all that is great about life is not inherent to the grand scheme of things and all of it is essentially fools gold. So don't worry too much about your life decisions influencing what many people think is the "afterlife", for an afterlife will not be much affected by life's choices. Life's choices pretty much only affect life itself, but not what comes after life. Therefore, happiness (for example), is not something that exists as a solution to all of our problems. And the happiness that exists during our lifetime certainly doesn't exist outside of the consciousness that exists during life. After death, consciousness behaves somewhat reminiscently of weather patterns. Consciousness evolves, and it's something that's dynamic. I think that it is reminiscent of the butterfly effect.
