Perching on a Hill...

A little prose about my perspective on life....

I perch on the soft, wet grass

It soaks trough my jeans

But I don’t care about the irritating, cold water

I don’t care wether I catch a cold

I don’t really care about anything

And why should I?

Why should I give it a second thought?

We are only on this earth for a while

Then

We just die

Cease to exist.

Why not just end it now?

If life has no meaning?

If humans had no soul

I wouldn’t want to live

But I believe in the eternal life of the soul,

So I will keep on living

Keep on learning!

I agree---I too believe in the eternal life of the soul. Our bodies are just shells, but our spirits live on!

I believe that Man created God.....I believe that the single most powerful thing on this planet is the human mind..With powers yet untapped...I also believe that if a person is so convinced that they will go to heaven on death...they will..the mind is the soul..and heaven is in your mind.....I have seen a ghost..It still makes me shiver to think about it...So there MUST be something even if it is only for a few strong minded individuals...That is it in a nutshell..without entering into deep conversation

Wow... nice way to see it!

It is a theory that really freaks out the Jehova Witnesses and Mormons, who come knocking on the door...I end up preaching to THEM
