Hey,
Kyu, Thank you for posting. I think it is one of those steps in our shared human journey that we all have to take. You know, everyone, no matter in what situation has likely thought about death, naturally feared it, and tried to conquer it in whatever way. Well, the ambiguity of that sentence is apt. Because some fight the 'fear' and some fight the 'dying', and I think we can all see which one leads to an appreciably healthier life. And like anything, it has a good side. I don't deny that value in our survival instinct, which almost exclusively relies upon fear at it's most instinctual. But we have to be very particular with what we think things prove, no? That, and I agree, no one has come 'back' and told us about the afterlife, as Padraic mentioned, only says one thing to me. He assumes it means there is no afterlife. I see that it only hypothesizes that no one can die and continue communication in any clear way. Not that no one came back to describe it, just that apparently no one can come back. Another theory includes that we do and can not remember the other world, and the amnesia is a huge piece of the functionality of this giant game we call life. Just wandering now, though. Thank you.
And Rabbit, thank you for your appreciation, I am pleased that you enjoyed reading that.
