 Life ....
was just curious really.. about life.. what people think about it.. purpose.. meaning.. etc..
hmm.. the poll is a bit awkward because 3 separate issues of mental and physical as well as pain.. but that's maybe the order I would view them in.. are of course many other complex levels between..
biggest omission is coma state.. and people that remain that way for years..
I think a lot of people that need constant care have concerns of their burden to society and the friends/family that have to care for them.. ?
.. but how many people quite happily spend hours with inanimate objects.. looking after and caring for it.. cars!? etc...
What does life mean.. if you keep a loved one alive.. and it's only their body that is living then what does that represent, if you keep them alive in your memory of them is their physical being important.. sure in 'life' to be able to touch someone is important.. but as an addition to your knowing of a person that you carry with you..
When people die, the idea of funerals and some people's elaborate requests of burial place.. and ceremony, some people obviously care much about what happens to them after their death as their physical body being more then a carrier for their consciousness..
.. then the afterlife! .. reincarnation.. heaven/hell .. ghosts/spirits..
erm... yeah..
so back to my question what does life mean for you?
what makes it so great.. what do you live for.. what gets you up in the morning |
