“Is there another life? Shall I awake and find all this a dream? There must be, we cannot be created for this sort of suffering.” ~ John Keats
If you believe in the soul, you believe in an afterlife. As one is content and the other its vessel; one belief requires the other.
Some folks believe in reincarnations; that life and death is an unending cycle.
Some folks believe in the simple one way flight: you’re dead and khalas, you are stuck with your deeds and destination (reward or reprimand).
Others believe in both: that everyday is a rebirth, and deeds pile up in creating unmistakable destinies.
I like theories on afterlife and soul. I have my favorites, but they all work the same way: giving deadlines for the things I’m doing.
The deadline for today’s writing session is imsak.
I too believe that there's always deadlines for a lot of things. But I believe that there are deadlines that you've got to meet pronto and some that encourage you to just take your sweet time.
ReplyDeleteMost times I dont know what to believe in anymore, seems to be a little bit of truth in everything..
ReplyDeleteCoral,
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Prioritizing finishes more tasks than trying to hit everything all at once.
Roe,
Whatever you believe in, some things don't change. Now, the facts that you can change, are cards in your hands. How do you want to play them?
It's nice to have you here. Thank you for coming by.
Much of my belief in God is based on the incomprehension that this life was it and there was nothing afterward, it doesn't seem right or complete to have this one single short duration of unexplained suffering, I'll definitely tune to Kant for more on this...
ReplyDeleteOh, you tease! Don't stop there & spill it all! What did Kant say about unexplained suffering?
