Exclamation The counsel of death

Most people are living a life of nonsense. We life in fear, in procrastination, in failure, in poverty, in anger and many other negative virtues we harmfully embrace.

But let me ask you, if you were to die tomorrow, how would you feel about it? Be honest to yourself because we cannot cheat death.

One regret I will have is that I have failed to live my life to the fullest, and late will I realize that I have what it takes to be who I wanted to be.

Will we wait for that ever-present moment or will we start now?

Or will you start now? Or will you ask it of other people. Unless you have started now and it's the other people that need to listen. We don't seem to learn from others mistakes but we listen to their words. And we don't seem to listen to our own words sometimes and someone else saying it can make all the difference.

I dunno, just my thoughts after reading. I like your post.

I'll be glad that I didn't hesitate to go out and have sushi with friends, then come home and share a pint of Ben & Jerry's with my girlfriend while cuddling into the night

If I were my ego self how would I feel about it?? I'd feel like I feel right now I'm just fine.. Honestly if I was to die.. I'd probably come back..

This is a statement of limitation.

Alright I'll give this to you from 2 perspectives ehh..
1. Scientific

We can't cheat death?? WTF?? We are living in a modern era where 100's of scientists are working on millions of methods to rejuvenate life, fix cancer, whatever.. sure we could die by random coincidence.. but other than that.. we are the generation who will elongate our lives.. we already believe that only 1000 years ago people lived to the age of 30 now they live to the ripe age of 100

Try not to be so pessimistic

2. Spiritual

You can cheat death.. many of us have died multiple times in our life.. been presented with our agreements and returned.. if that isn't cheating (reloading from a game perspective) I don't know what is..

This may be a high stakes limitation game.. but the STAKES are illusion.. the reason we can't remember our connection and where we come from is so that we can mess around in the dark in the limitation to experience the negative.. and I for one like the DARK

Don't be so pessimistic Not only are scientist working on the death answer.. but most of us when "the shift" happens for you will understand that "death is choice" and so is "aging" and when that happens you to will understand the idea that "we can cheat death" and that was a statement of limitation

I understand the philosophy you are trying to impart and believe me it's good philosophy.. I have been using it a long, long time in my life but..

Just so were clear if you were to die now.. you would not look back on your time on earth with "regret".. you would be very proud of your time here and you would likely choose to come on back to this limiting experience
