Why do people die? I am a physician and it pains me when a patient dies. It makes me question myself and my abilities. But at the end of the day, I always know that God has a purpose and I don't need to question it. Just like his son Jesus who he sent to us and who died on the cross to save us, people die because God has a reason. I think God knows the pain it causes us, and I think he maybe sad to know that we are questioning him.
Without death, life would make a lot less sense though, don't you think?
Concepts like purpose, empathy and compassion would be less significant IMO.
Pain is another issue though, as physicians our first struggle should be reducing pain to the bare minimum compatible with a good quality of life.
Hello guys the reason we may die is a lot of reason. God created Adam and Eve to enjoy the earth. But they disobeyed god and therefore god taught Adam and Eve the lesson of disobeying him. So that is one reason why we would die. Of course god cares about us and doesn't want us to suffer. I think he does this to teach us a lesson to always obey him.
I believe that death in itself is not the end, only the gateway to another world, be it as a new body in ours, or in a paradise.
Perhaps we become something we thought was not alive, like the clouds, the stone, or the wind itself. Maybe the end in life is the beginning in death. Or maybe we become light, bright light that floods the earth in the morning, warming not only the bodies but also the soul.
Perhaps those who seek become spirits who find, and those who long for peace finally live in peace.
Perhaps we also become something that cannot be described, something that is neither light nor shadow, neither the beginning nor the end....
I believe that the soul strives for a story in this world, and another one in the next. Like the wind, it blows from one direction to the other, and what is hundred years for us is just a blink of an eye for the soul.
Perhaps something so indescribable is happening that no matter what I write now, it is indescribable. Every life comes to an end in this world and continues in death.
Perhaps one is never quite dead, perhaps the soul is immortal.
Perhaps suffering is part of the wisdom that merges in our soul.
... Maybe it is all untrue, and we suffer because this world is cruel. Or is there a deeper meaning after all? I believe in everything, and yet in nothing.
Is there a meaning to this world? Or is there only one for ourselves?
