Does Death Matter?
It will happen anyway.
What we think happens at death will have an affect on how we live. Death will happen anyway, so why not consider all possibilities about what may occur then? If we do not think about death as a part of life and just die, of what value is life? Do we muck around for a while, accumulating facts, then just die? Considering death can bring much value to life.
The alternatives are that we go heaven or hell, or we just die and don’t exist anymore, so all that we pride ourselves in is pointless. Most people seem to live without bothering about death, and ignore the consequences of ignoring. They die vague and confused 😦
If . . . reincarnation is a reality, then we can and have been reborn everywhere in the universe in some form. Why? Because we ignored what we, in truth, are, and took on a form to that degree of understanding. Sometimes we need a little mind-boggling to get us out of our humdrum assumptions that devalue life.
Life is precious.
It doesn’t matter what we think it will happen at death, death will happen anyway, so why not consider the best possibility for enlightenment? Whatever we will have to face in the future will depend on what we understand now.
We choose.
It doesn’t matter what others say, it is our choice.
Personally, I have too much déjà vu to pooh-pooh* reincarnation.
Déjà vu: to know again, already seen, recognition.
Being vague devalues life.
.*Pooh-pooh: 1590s – “a ‘vocal gesture’ expressing the action of puffing anything away”, used as an exclamation of dislike, scorn, or contempt, first attested in Hamlet Act I, Scene III, where Polonius addresses Ophelia with, “Affection! pooh! you speak like a green girl.”
