i am 19 this August and it is time to prepare for my death. perhaps only now have i seen clearly my position on earth. an average of 60 to 70 year lifespan. surely this timeframe doesn't represent human life and the whole point of being human? i for one am a believer of the immortality of human souls. meaning what comes after death is undoubtedly eternity. it is absurd to think death is an absolute end. i think our scope of thought and our capability to consider the possibility of infinity says it all. i don't believe that thoughts, ideas and imagination are merely conjectures. they are branches that sprout from the seed of truth.
this 60 to 70 years are all the certainty i have compared to endlessness, which is simply not enough. i will die and then all of humanity will follow. then Time dies. is it too arrogant to believe Time exists to chronicle humanity's existence? i am afraid. what should i fear?
do our mind have an edge? where imagination fail to comb further because of a bottomless fall towards the ultimate truth? if so, perhaps then the universe might have an edge? but why can numbers go to infinity and not the stars and blue?
i don't know.
60 to 70 years. a trial period.
