Beautifully put, Bulldog
>We are still consumed about the afterlife. So many of us fear death and what happens after we die. As long as we fear death we will cling to life long after it has become worthwhile or there is any quality to it. There was something about so called primitive cultures that allowed them to live in harmony with nature. They accepted death as part of the cyle of life and death. But we have disconnected ourselves emotionally from this cycle and I wonder if this is not part of our emotional distress.
Especially this.....
>We live in a culture that stresses individuality but maybe that is not how we are meant to live. Maybe our culture makes us sick. Sometimes I look at the trees in my backyard. The leaves come and go every year. Maybe that is all we are and we have to accept that. Right now we are individuals cut off from everything and that is making us sick.
That's my opinion, anyway.
