Every night you die a little death. we call it sleep...... a tiny death, bt even that tiny death revives you. In the morning you are full of energy and juice again, again throbbing life.. again ready to jump into a thousand and one adventures...This is happening daily....so we have not even known what sleep is.... how can you know death?... I believe death is a gr8 sleep, a great rest after the whole life.It makes you anew, it makes you fresh, it resurrects you....but our mind only thinks abt things. "What will happen after death?" Why can't you wait? One thing is certain....you will die ' I guarantee it! How you prefer to die, that is another matter.😃

But vinu, one might argue that as long as you breathe you are still alive, so sleep is not counted as death ,although it does seem like a temporary death, I agree. We are aware of the death called sleep because we wake up, it's not in the case of actual death, where we stop breathing and never wake up. :) How this was related to the aathma question I dunno but it was an interesting post of urs 😆

Death is not truly forever as long there is thought and memory.

Anyway we are all just another character in a book and there is nothing unique about most of us.

The Almighty Author or the Force can always replicate another one of us without hesitation; but often He will not do it.

But we may miss certain person temporarily I guess. Living in the world it is hard not to be attached and share emotions and enjoy worldy passtimes.

I believe that if we keep thinking of the person who is gone, sooner or later he or she may come back for us; but it is not nice to trouble them as certain souls too may have other works.

I apologize for the delay of my reply. I just now got the chance to come back and read all the replies. I enjoyed reading all the different perspectives that you all had to share. :)

I don't know whether I fear death or not. I guess what scares me the most is the fact that we only get one opportunity to be born into a human form. Do any of you believe that?

Death impacts me greatly...It just really affects me greatly when it is the death of someone that is really close to me. I still remember the day my entire family was in the hospital praying for my baa (grandma). I was extremely close to her as she was my only grandparent left at that time. We spent most of our time together. I was around 14 that time and it impacted me greatly. I still remember my older cousins standing by my side comforting me because I just didn't know how to take all this at such a young age. It was a difficult phase for me that time. At that time I was too young to really think about anything. As I started growing older I started to understand the real meaning of life. But with the events going on in my life I just can't come across to finding any happiness on the path of life. Every time I seek to look at the brighter side of things, something or the other happens and I'm back to my pessimistic side.

I don't find happiness. Or if I do it lasts for a brief second. And because of this reason I start to hate life and do not appreciate it for what it really is. I also believe in the saying "everything happens for a reason." But sometimes things are beyond my control and I can't help myself but to think why did this happen to me. I don't know. I guess I'm just living in a totally different world. =/ My life is a mess.

Anyways RTH please don't feel like you're the reason I don't come to this section! Haha. You're a very great person & mod! :)

And a big hello to all. Its great reuniting with some of you after a long time! :)

Thanks for all your thoughts and insights!

I actually don't believe that we are born once. I believe in reincarnation, and that life and death are just entering and leaving one spiritual plane and another. We're sent here to rejuvenate the soul and learn lessons and go through phases that we must feel.

Thank you Tulip for such kind words. Even I refuse to believe that we are all born only once in a human form.

I suppose its just God's way of testing us!
Thank you for your sweet & supportive words of reassurance! :)

Not a problem! Good luck to you! 😃
