Meditations
Re: Meditations
Then the discussion is over?
EDIT: Okay then, new topic: what do you think about... death, reincarnation and all that stuff?

Re: Meditations
I thought that was obvious ![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
Reincarnation's a really cool concept. There's probably millions of beliefs on death out there, but I like reincarnation. For example, in my life, my mother's father died when I was 7 (February 2000), and a week later, my father's cousin gave birth to a boy whom they gave the initials of my grandfather who recently passed at that time in reverse. It was strange. Of course you'll say it's pure coincedence, I find it strange however.
If you go on Tumblr, there's this post that talks about a person dying and being reincarnated into every person who ever was, is and will be, and I found that even more interesting - Could we really be our family and friends at a different stage in life?
I'm just rambling, and I'm sure I might get picked apart by you guys
But honestly, even though reincarnation's interesting, I don't have a strong belief in what happens after life. What happens happens and I'll leave it there.

Re: Meditations
Well I'm a fully worldly person, so I don't believe that anything special happens after I die, I'm just gone. It's a bit frightening of a concept but I'm complacent with it and so it doesn't bother me much.
It's a great motivator, though.

Re: Meditations
If I die, I expect something there otherwise, i want my money back. But if I die, I die. If its inevitable, I welcome it with open arms.

Wasn't actually Tumblr.

Re: Meditations
I'm not surprised, everything on Tumblr and Facebook, etc., originate from 4Chan, Reddit or some other site like it. However, I didn't know where exactly it came from, so I just listed the place I knew it from.

Re: Meditations
Kind of like how my great-granddad died in the same year (but before) I was born.Reincarnation's a really cool concept. There's probably millions of beliefs on death out there, but I like reincarnation. For example, in my life, my mother's father died when I was 7 (February 2000), and a week later, my father's cousin gave birth to a boy whom they gave the initials of my grandfather who recently passed at that time in reverse. It was strange. Of course you'll say it's pure coincedence, I find it strange however.
Probably coincidence though.
Is this my final form?
Re: Meditations
Interesting...
I think the same as Taalit, that nothing will happen after I die. But I don't think it's a thing to worry about, since as World said it's unavoidable (well, unless someone discovers a way to make us immortal by translating our brains to a computer or such, but I don't think anything like that will be discovered in the short future). And also, if I were to choose I'd prefer being destroyed from existence than being forced to live an eternal life/cycle of reincarnations.

Wow... I can't deny it would be cool if we all were really the samethere's this post that talks about a person dying and being reincarnated into every person who ever was, is and will be, and I found that even more interesting

Re: Meditations
Who wants to be immortal?
Who wants to just sit around, watch every loved one (s)he knows die, and their descendants, and so on until the human race is no more, then wait until the earth disintegrates, and the sun burns out, and every atom in the univers gets torn apart until it's just him/her?
Just a thought.

Re: Meditations
Yeah, that's one reason. Though even if every people on Earth were immortal and you could live with them, I still wouldn't like it.
