this post posed some interesting points and I felt that writing on the cbox in his blog would not to the post justice so im going to copy some of the interesting points and offer my opinion.
from one paragraph:
But.If u think deeper, LIFE in itself can be neutralised by DEATH.
If what we do now on this earth is for NOW.
Then Life is meaningless because there is no eternal consequence to what we do.
Pleasure is meaningless.
Suffering is meaningless.
Wealth is meaningless
Abraham Lincoln was the 16th President of the United States. in his days in office, he succesfully abolished slavery. Lincoln left to attend the play Our American Cousin on April 14, 1865. As a lone bodyguard wandered, and Lincoln sat in his state box (Box 7) in the balcony, Booth crept up behind the President and waited for what he thought would be the funniest line of the play ("You sock-dologizing old man-trap"), hoping the laughter would muffle the noise of the gunshot. When the laughter began, Booth jumped into the box and aimed a single-shot, round-slug 0.44 caliber Derringer at his head, firing at point-blank range. abraham Lincoln died.
could it be said that his life and all his actions were neutralized by his death?
eternal consequences?
he had abolished slavery and today, we have the first black president in Barack Obama. 144 years later after his death. i dare you to say his life and all his achievements were meaningless and all his hardships and he had to go through to achieve that goal meaningless. i dare you.
i feel that in this paragraph, death has been glorified terribly till the extant where it grinds your face in the dirt. what an insult. i summarised his whole life and paid all the importance on his assasination but i do hope, that that those three words would outshine and outweigh his death and that death does not neutralize life, but rather death is a part of it. and i shall leave it at that.
in another paragraph.( im not going to dwell in the religious part of the post. and im not going to offer an explanation.)
Our human wisdom has a limit.Even if you have newtons brain or whatever.
The limit is death.
All your effort in finding the answers to the questions in life will lead to more questions that are more complex.
And when you die.Selfishly ask yourself
How will your wisdom help you when you rot in the ground?
You might think you have contributed to the world.
That might be true, youve provided temporary solutions.
Well done, but the inevitable is coming.
The day when our human race will and i promise you it will happen, our extinction.
peace.
"All your effort in finding the answers to the questions in life will lead to more questions that are more complex" now why is it that it is said in such a manner that more questions is a horrible bad thing. rejoice! in the fact that there will always be another greater question awaiting us. is that not the most beautiful thing about being human? (no, love is not the most beautiful thing about being human because animals love too.)
well i wont even bother debating the rest of the paragraph. it aint worth it. but what strikes me as interesting was the ending sentence "The day when our human race will and i promise you it will happen, our extinction." now i know this idea was not formed based on evidence or even any thought but, i guess the bible says so.
cheers, chuen
