Title: Memory
Post by alien2 on Jan 11^th, 2018, 12:14am

What is the most important day of your life you do not remember?

p.s. Whatever you do, do not say: the wedding day.

You win.

Still, surely you meant [hide]birth date? After all, it is reasonable to conclude that you do remember most of your birthdays.[/hide]

Conveniently it means both [hide]the anniversary of birth, and the day of birth itself[/hide]

I keep forgetting. You are infallible. Mayhap you ought to become a presidential candidate so that when you naturally win the election of course you will allow cloning so that all Dutch can be like - - - you! when ALL inhabitants of Netherlands will be infallible. Of course, if I win the election, all Croats will be altered or cloned in my image or at very least riddlers. And since we will all wright/solve riddles there will be no time for anything else really thus I will not win the upcoming election, but at least I tried.

What is more important, the day you are born or the day you die?

I would say the former because the death of famous people is almost always in the news, but the birth of the same famous people is hardly ever mentioned. Except for a few rare cases.

It depends. Can you say and with certainty that there is no life after death? If there is, then there is only birth date and no death date, that is to say, eternity has one (linear) direction, the one that travels into the future ultimately becoming timeless because of the ultimate evolution that does not concern our body alone rather environment in which we live. But, why does not soul begin directly in nirvana, why it has to be first born here? I reckon forwhy our bodies are cocoons that are about to turn into soul or at very least release it from the bondage likewise chains of being imprisoned in this material body. This would make our bodies portal that leads to Heaven.

If there is life after death, then there is no death.

We all wish it were true. Or at least most of us.

Death is a term used for a change where a dead organism behaves differently than a living one. And since you have never been dead before, presuming you are not familiar with your reincarnations, you are acting w/o empirical knowledge regarding death, that is to say, here be dragons. So, all one can do is to ask cosmos for answers. Will it stay silent or it is already speaking to us through God's frequency 333 and the Devil's 666? Open yourself to the cosmos and feel vibrations of eternal love.

What makes you think I have have never been dead before? Aha, deep inside you know people who live today haven't had another life before.

Which do you prefer: eternity of painful immortal life or one day of life marked by sheer bliss? I believe now you know why light elves wept burning with the fires of Orc.

Why not? Things can end and then start again later/elsewhere; it doesn't mean the endings aren't real.

How painful?
One day of sheer bliss sounds like a rather meaningless existence. One might find a lot more satisfaction in a painful but meaningful life.

If you choose a bliss one-day life, when evening comes you might start to regret your choice. It's too short.

If you choose eternal life, reaching the second half of eternity you might start to regret your choice. It's too long.

It is a no-win situation.
