"Live, and live well for you shall live once and once only": me
Life Organizes. |

You claim that we die to prevent overpopulation? I don't think so. We instinctively try to live as long as we can. We have no ingrained control for overpopulation. If we are threatened, instinct makes us fight or flight (survival). We are instinctively attracted to the opposite sex to promote reproduction. Everything that we do seems to toward the goal of overpopulation. |

Hi, well what you say is true, but, i didnt mean, our life to be an energy recicle, i said that we died becouse that had to happen, the energy we have taken from nature has to be given back sometime, second, death IS the only overpopulation control LOL, what does fatal disseas cause,, death, what does freak nature dissasters cause, deaths, get it, besides, i dont think that we can remain as energy after we die, becouse, we would have to reamain as energy right? well, there is a law that establishes that energt is not created or destroyed, just transforms itself, if every individual that die, reamais as concient energy, when another individual was born and then died, he wold be still using energy, my point, there would be an energy deficit, and that is imposible. I belive in life but death only makes life more beutifull, why well imagine yourself eating chicken for eternity, sounds boring, now imagine you could only eat chicken 4 times, no more, a assure you each time you ate it ,you would make an experience from it, if life were eternal, THAT would be boooooooooring, believe it or not. |

I like the idea of C.G. Jung, saying that your dreams are like the judgement of your actions and thoughts expressed through an "incorruptible judge's mouth." |

Well let me jsut say, without having bothered reading anything above me, that death is the end. |
|
Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
As far as I'm concerned there is no such thing as death. If there's an afterlife then death is really a transition and not an end and not really death. If there is no afterlife then there is nothing once life is through. The phrase "once life is through" is false as well because time does not continue. All that exists is what you are conscious of and you can't be conscious of death because it is the end of all consciousness. If there's an afterlife death is like falling asleep and waking up in a new world. If there isn't, then it simply doesn't exist. |

Super profundo on the early eve of your day
I agree that death is the recycling of life. It is the way the world keeps us from overpopulating, as we naturally want to reproduce, so if we are reproducing, making more people, others need to die too. If people didn't die naturally, we would have been overpopulated 10000 years ago, and there would be nothing in the world for us. We would be wiped out. Also, death gives life meaning, as living forever would be boring and pointless, since you would know that it doesn't matter if you can't do something now, as you'll have plenty of time to do it later, and them, there would be no point to life at all, we would be pathetic creations living out eternity doing whatever the hell we wan't, with no consequence to ourselves. To me, the ultimate goal of life is to reproduce, and continue our race, but as humans with our ability to learn, we also have the goal to take in as much of the world as possible, to learn all that we can, and to live our life to it's fullest. But we also have responsiblity to give back to the world which we use at our will. We have the ability to destroy the world in 90 minutes (literally, America has more than enough nukes), but we don't, instead we must learn to be better to the Earth. To build so that less of nature is destroyed. To farm so that the land isn't left barren afterwards. To find ways to produce energy that do not pollute. That is our place in life. With our great power we must turn away from the violence and killing and war, and be a single peaceful race of humans. Race means nothing, humans are humans, and with our ability we must give back to the world, and not interfere to greatly with its natural course, because in the end the Earth will come back to its former glory no matter what we do, but we will be destroyed. |

Forget people, if nothing ever died every square inch of earth would be covered in insects probably half a mile deep. |

I totally agree with penguin lord, totally, yet there is something that confuses me, if death is necesary to be able to live, if it elevates life to its billion potency, why do we fear it so, well correction, we do not fear death, we fear ceasing to exist... the moment we die, we go out of the universe, time nor space affects us, if the universe is infinite, where do we go, or is it total ahnihilation, how sad it is to think... |

We probably wouldn't have as much of a capacity to be thankful is we lasted forever. Gratefulness usually comes with a mental contrast against the opposite situation. |

naturals are what we call people who did all the right things accidentally
Yes, if we speak of energy, we are not totally ahnihilated, becouse, the energy that we are made up of, will transform itself into something else, it is possible, that the energy, of a star, millions of light years away, is the same, we are using to live , yet, our energy, does not retain our concience, so THAT, is lost, but, if you think about it, this universe, is phisical, so it hold all that is phisical, yet, even though, some my think that thought is merely the result of photochemical reactions that occur in our neurons, they forget, about, concience, free will, soul, that divine spark wich we seem to hold, that, wich IS without being, in the phisicall grasps of the universe, alas, the metaphisical. Were does our concience go? not our energy... or is our concience energy?... At the moment, I really do not know... |

I tend to believe in the materialistic view, but only because it is the easiest one to believe in. If i dig deeper I know that something must continue, but it may just be my feeble little mind trying to protect me from the knowledge that this measly existence is all thats to it. |

That is exactly what I am afraid of... |
