Can't agree with him more!
My 2+ cents:
* Death is anyway inevitable - But why spoil "Life" worrying about death? It WILL happen someday or other. Make the most of all the days you have now!
* Million (or zillion... or whatever is highest!!) dollar question.....where will I be after I die??????
Will I be able to look at earth in a top level view? See everybody who I care for (or even hate for that matter!)?
* Will I be remembered after, say 10 years of my death? Is anybody really going to miss me?
* Why am I here in the first place? Do I have a mission to complete? If yes, will somebody please let me know what is that???? :-/
* Why is there a lifecycle in the first place? Why are we born.. and then grown and then dead?? What purpose does it serve?
I am thouroughly confused! :( What's the point of all this? What;s the point in making earth so hi-tech? Who is benifitting from all this?

I've read this JC wisdom...he is one of a kind ....
also I personally believe we all have a purpose in life and it is for us to find out. It might take us a life time to find out the purpose, but hey probably that was the purpose:)...I think when I am on a death bead, I should be able to look back and say "Wow that was fun and Oh Boy, it was a wild ride !!!!. Not thoroughly useless and I think I was quite helpful to few people and had some fun, planted some trees, recycled some plastic...and I was good I guess" and smile and die.......
U know thinking about death makes every minute here much more enjoyable ....it reminds us that everything here is momentary....(and that does not mean that I am endrosing constant morbid thoughts)
I know about this MOKSHA. I can also agree with you all that on an individual level it's all fine.
I mean I am born with a purpose, to be good to my fellow human beings, bring some smile in atleast a few faces, Have some fun, Enjoy myself and when I die, I am contented that I lead a complete life.
Fine! That's all understood and followed. But I am looking at one level higher.
If at all the sole purpose of me from my birth is to get MOKSHA (that means not being born again- on simple terms), then why was I born in the first place?????
GI, you talked about planting trees and recycling plastic... but who is benefitting from all this? If we go by this life-death cycle.. the earth will have no living beings some day right?
Then what';s the purpose of all this?
Oho... I am thouroughly confused!! Does anybody know any swamiji in Dallas ;-)
Vedanta is pretty good at "attempting" to answer this question (is this post on death to commomerate with 6/6/6?) but study of genes (The Selfish gene book) gives a logical (and best?) answer: we are machnies transporting the genes.. and oh George's post was really good.
Oflate these soul stirring deep thinking posts enna?
Le, if I could answer ur questions in such profound levels I wouldnt be here would i?
@Pavan:
What;s this 6/6/6? and death? I didn't get that :-/
I was tired of stirring dal and rasam.. so thought will do some soul stirring ;-)
@GI:
You never know dear... who holds the answer for what...
the date 6/6/6 is linked to the Devil's fav number 666..
Life is good anyway, so don't make it too complicated with all these analysis.
Love life and live life..yaardu ee philosophy antha gnaapiskond barteeni okay?
