| I agree with your idea. I believe that is probably the most fundamental basis of all of the religions and philosophies of the world throughout all of history. Perhaps if you expand your first question, it too becomes more difficult to answer. Yes your parents conceived you, but where does life actually arise? I find your last question interesting also. Does anything happen after death? Does the soul (if there is such a thing) live on? Do we simply cease to exist and our bodies rot? Are we reborn in a new form? I do not think there is any way to know for sure, but it is definitely something to wonder about. One thing I do know is that I believe it is important to do something and be loved by someone enough that when your body dies, your memory lives on. For if we are remembered, we cannot truly be said to be dead.
Please respond with your thoughts! |
