The day you realise you're not dead you start living.

Isn't that how the mind is composed.

People think, "I'm alive" and think of it as being born in a world with trees and other people and anything being possible here.

But then the day comes you think;

"I'm not dead" and you think of it as being born in a world with trees and other people and anything being possible here.

It's a totally different view on life and once realised that's the day you start living.
That's what being alive really means, it means not being dead.

Jesus said: "Let the dead bury the dead".

I'm not dead, but I'm not alive either.... waiting for death, you find it hard to find life. You simple prepare.

What is life? The term life is nothing more than a human construct we created. Trillions of species have come and gone, will keep doing that, so where is this so called special species we call humans in that mix, but just another blink in the eye of the universe. The interesting part is as you get older death doesn't look so bad...

Sounds like a midlife crisis... It does change something when you realize death is just there waiting for you to join.

I am happy for you Untun.

We are all headed for that same fate, it’s just a matter of time. According to physics time and matter are related, it’s all interconnected. I don’t think it’s even possible to die, just transmute like energy, or the butterfly.

I don't want to be a butterfly. But for some reason, this life has sent me this way. I know my fate, and a timeline... I have given in to this. alas, so much to have done, now just making sure my kin have when left I had to offer.

Some say they don't want to know their fate, let it happen... it's different when you are told it.

Better to be blindfolded, than to see it coming, hey...

For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief.

One fills the cup only to find that we need empty the cup...

To be full of things is to be empty of God.
