Life-Death-Afterlife - Naufal Zamir
(ONE QUESTION TO ALL: SEARCHING FOR AN ANSWER!)
Dear all,
I had the oppurtunity to meet very intelligent people here which I have no doubt about. Guess everyone knows by now that I happen to be a believer. Can anyone tell me one thing. What is the meaning of LIFE? What is the difference of the life that Einstien had, Newton had, Jesus (PBUH) had, Muhammad (PBUH) had, Darwin had, Tagore had and I have and You have or a murderer have or whoever. What is the difference?
Pure and simple, one question, what is the difference?
I dont find a meaning of life the way you deal with it, i.e. with materialistic approach. That leeds me to the understanding that every tom dick or harriet does not differ in any way: materially and not spiritually as spirit is bogus. Regardless of whatever we do, we exist for the reason of time and we vanish and disappear.
On the other hand if I think every life means different and there is then something called achievement (even after death), and certainly there is a meaning of Life for me then. Well, I also tried to put it this way: I do something good, I could make you happy and your joy is my joy, so I achieve something. But that does not give me the meaning in the long run. Everything dies when I die. Just for an example, Edison invented Light, we are getting the benifit and that poor fella is vanished now and cant even see that we are using his stuff. Just cant accept this theory.
My problem is, it is difficult for me to vanish after death. Then again, I do want to reap if I sow something. I dont want to vanish and in a position that I cant even see if others are getting any benifit out of it (which could have given me atleast some comfort).
If, I take a materialistic approach and contain myself with this earthly world then I guess we should at any cost aid Communism or socialism: let us have our fair shares in this limited time. But sadly I bilieve in Democracy!!.
hmmm......
So, anyone there to share What is Life?
I shall be very thankfull if I can convince myself that life is indeed materialistc, then definitely the next flight will be to Howaii and I am taking a LONG HOLIDAY TILL I DIE.
