I am sorry to sound so very morose in my question. But so many people have asked about the meaning of life here on 'answers', and elsewhere, as well. Yet, no one asks about the meaning of death. Is this because death is a taboo topic? Is it because we all possess some sort of instinct of preservation?
No one knows the meaning of life. It is one of the greatest mysteries known to man. However, I do not think that we should be discouraged from desperately searching for the truth. I think that there is some significance in just asking these things of ourselves. It provides a sense of awe to our existence.
I don't mean to sound pessimistic in asking about death. It is a drastic change that we undergo, and, depending on our choices during our past life, it will determine where we spend the rest of forever. Literally- the sleep of eternity. The prolonged slumber.
I realize that not everyone shares my sentiments. Some people believe other things.
What is the meaning of the grave?
