Aren't we all just walking, talking stardust? Bits of the cosmos become awake and looking back at itself?

Question

Is that cool or what?

Why can't we just relax, enjoy the beauty of it all, and play in the dance?

It will all be over soon enough.

Why create our own suffering through endless greed? Isn't that crazy?

Answer 1

You speak the truth. Whatever elements and molecules make up our body were here since the beginning of time. We are sparkling energy. We are all one, and love is the answer.

Answer 2

Humanity tends not to concentrate so much on where we come from, why are we here, how come we are self aware, why do we die etc. since our lifetime is so short we tend to occupy our thought with things like where am I going to go this summer, why don`t I get along with X, etc. No one has given one thought about the fact that the problems we have were created by us, they don`t just appear out of the blue. The choices we make influence our lives from the most Innocent thought to the most radical decision, we have to admit that we choose how we live and things don`t always work out the way we want them to and then we spend most of our lives searching for people or events to blame for our misfortune. And yes here is another thing that in time has grown into a phenomenon...fortune. People play the lottery for even 10 years and wonder why didn`t they get lucky at least once, well maybe if they wouldn`t have focused so much on winning easy money the would have made twice the same amount with honest work. We are to small and selfish to think about humanity as a whole, we prefer individuality. There are millions of magazines and adds world wide that promote individuality that advertise means of being unique. We already are, every person is different from the second that person is conceived..We gather riches and possessions all our lives, for what? When we die, we don`t even take our souls with us since it separates from the body. For our children some people say, but how many of you know rich children that do know the value of money, are not self absorbed or don`t try to do the same thing their parents did..get even richer and forget their spiritual side since everything was handed to them on a silver platter. Most of them don`t even know themselves much less show some empathy toward others. This is how humanity is and has always been and I don`t think anything is going to change this.

Answer 3

It seems we have to get through the greedy stages before we can go on and enjoy it all as you stated. Sometimes I would like to think I am walking and talking stardust. In fact we can believe anything we want to, except there comes a time in our life when we become parents and we need to be able to give our kids roots. Without roots, they can never have wings and go on and fly by themselves. Our children are smart enough to know we are not stardust or any fairy tale. So we can believe that till we have to be a role model, then our responsibility is to teach them basics of life.

Answer 4

I am beginning to realize that the life I have now is a kind of deep sleep, if not a nightmare. I am still greedy but not in terms of worldly wealth only in terms of heavenly wealth. This greediness will not harm any one on this earth but may in fact benefit them. The more my neighbor benefits from my greediness, the more I become wealthy. I just hope that someday I may have enough of the treasury of the mind of Christ that will finance my travel back to the enlightenment I had before--the rightful place for us all.

Answer 5

I'm really not feeling that cosmos stuff. Well not anymore than being bits and pieces of a hard boiled egg.


I am made in the image and likeness of God who Loves me. There is only one of me and there is only one of you. Each person is unique and will never be created again.

God Bless You, ;-)

Answer 6

Bits of cosmos we are in a self-sustaining complex series of chemical reactions. I admire your wording, I feel the same.

Answer 7

It is hard to just let go, and smell the roses or watch the clouds.We forget after we grow up how to have fun.

Answer 8

People forget our stellar roots - and they become concerned with "smaller" things like pride and ego. Welcome to the human species, but maybe one day it won't be so bad...

Answer 9

No we are all bags of water. Because people disagree.

Answer 10

Dust in the wind. All we are is dust in the wind.
