Does the future hold anything worth living for...or not...


Poem Artwork

What to about write this night,
Maybe an about face is right,
Or maybe something for the most part light,
No talk of the world’s perennial fight…

Or not…

Who am I to question existence,
Are we alive for one life or do we others experience,
Do we need to use aggressive persistence,
To continue our journey to enlightenment,
Or if not, maybe we should display passive resistance…

Or not…

Who actually knows the answer to the question,
I have a herein confession,
I’ve no clue what I do about explicate,
Guess we will all just have to wait,
Till that day when this world we depart,
That day that we will then finally find our fate…

Or not…

Afterlife makes no sense except as carrot for rewarding what should be normal decent behavior. The stick always wins. Cuz p

Most young people, and you were included back then, do not spend a lot of time thinking of these things. They find much to do in the here and now.

I read a lot about finding lost loved ones. I think that's a nice pipe dream. And even worse are those that have regrets for not connecting with so-called loved ones before they "left." There's a lot of fear and anxiety in these wishes.

I prefer living the best I can and the most, devil take the hindmost… ;-)

I'm with Ruan, enjoy what we have here and when
we go to the next plateau only then we will know
the true meanings of life and death....

Always,

I believe in an afterlife, Ed, but it does NOT involved streets of gold and the fraudulent "God."

The ten commandments are not just a jumble of words of do and do not. If you don't believe there is a God who will judge us then your fate will be in for a surprise.

It is possibly the most perplexing and frustrating question there is - Where do our loved ones go? Is there a place or a state of being to go to - or is this it? We will never know. Best make the most of what we have here.
