Earth Life is just a passage through eternal life, where our souls will go on forever. By earthly death, only our body of flesh and bones fades away. If I am a loving, generous, compassionate, and a merciful human being, if I am doing my best to be a great person on earth, it is not because of death, but because I am investing in my eternal life. "The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life". I don’t want this short life of mine, be the reason of my soul’s misery after my heart stops beating. If I am making my utmost effort of leading an exemplary earth life today, it is to leave a mark on earth..to leave a legacy for my children and my beloved people, but I am doing it mostly because I believe in after life. If there were no eternal life, may be I would be thinking solely about me and myself, forgetting all about my mortal bosom bodies. And basically, immortality comes through faith.

We are not here to get spiritual - we are spiritual. We are here to integrate that spiritual essence into our human experience. Consider closing your eyes for a moment and dare to imagine this is your dream, a specific moment in time, your very own instant. It is a miraculous moment when a daydream, passion and effort to acheive it, bond together, woven with lustrous threads of invisible strength. Imagine the feeling, if you and the universe were completely in tune, balanced, softly breathing in unison with every fiber of your being, every inhale and exhale to the same beat. Your heart is racing, pounding in echoes of reverberating silence. It is right then, you will feel alive. As to the purposes, no matter the venue we chose to leave our mark, the importance is in the trance of passion and the working in hope of the elusive unattainable edge of glory within ourselves. Focused in the zone of determination and holding softly the reins of calm composure, if beyond all imagining, that instant comes at the most pinnacle moment in time… That just may be the edge of the ever elusive quest of perfection undaunted by demanding, yet joyfully displayed in hushed patience… The greatest Truth therefore reminds you that we are, more often than not, spiritual beings having a human experience.

I don't think there has ever been a counter example. To my knowledge every human born on this earth has died within a maximum of 120 years or so. I honestly believe that this is the only thing I can be totally sure of as a human with 5 limited and sometimes illusion producing senses. I frequently ask myself if this deep thought is worth anything more than slowly driving myself insane day to day. My most recent conclusion is similar to the points that you brought up in your final thoughts. You can see the instant beauty in life by simply understanding that it is precious. You can lose it any moment. It is so easy to forget that in the stress and rush of life itself. Now we have to figure out how to make the most of it. Can we discover anything beyond that most basic truth? I appreciate how you addressed death as the single greatest truth in life. I don’t think there has ever been a counter example.
