Title: Thoughts ~ Post by: Omnia on October 21, 2008, 04:48:02 pm Having the chance to relive one's life sounds like the greatest gift a person could
have, but perhaps there is a good reason why we only have one life . . . . Title: Re: Thoughts ~ Post by: Outlawed on October 22, 2008, 02:44:35 am And what do you think that one good reason is?
Title: Re: Thoughts ~ Post by: Omnia on October 22, 2008, 09:30:40 am Well, there's probably many reasons, not just one.
But here is one of mine ~ Imagine walking smugly around, living a perfect second life, no surprises or challenges, it would be pretty boring in the end. . . well, I think so. There’d be nothing to aim for, no ambition, no achievement and no dreams. No reason to be happy either, because happiness would be taken for granted. How can someone be happy unless that same person can compare joy to sadness? No, the way I see it, is that you cannot take away the negative things in life and keep all the emotions intact . . . if you take away the possibility of being hurt, then you take away any chance of being able to understand another person's problems. If it was possible to live one's life all over again, and by doing so remove the errors and the heartaches that have been made the first time, you would become as cold, egoistical, unfeeling and inhuman as a robot. Anyway, that's the way I see it, at the moment. Title: Re: Thoughts ~ Post by: caskur™ on October 22, 2008, 10:03:38 am I was in spiritual darkness for 21 yrs.....and when I believe I was enlightened, and thus "happy" I remember thinking I could stay in this place forever....I certainly did NOT miss the "lows," or the "not knowings"... If it is possible to live forever and never grow old, and never die.....you would NEVER run out of things to do....there will always be something to do.... imagine living long enough to master EVERY instrument invented.... to see every square inch of the planet and unpoluted.....to have every animal wild and domestic at peace with you and each other.....to even inhabit and visit other planets.....to know and love EVERY human person.....to be able to talk with God.....not just send thoughts that way but actually hear his voice back in your head.......to be able to communicate that way with people,.....just send them thoughts and they'll hear you.....[telepathy] Humans will also have to and want to work and love it, knowing that no one will destroy what you create....and when it wears out, make a new item, house, piece of clothing, plant a vineyard... No more extreme weather conditons but still have four seasons...... That is the new system....that is what the Bible actually says will happen.....whether is does or not....is another story. I would like to think it will happen... |
