live for life, or do you live for death?

For life! I'm not even setting money aside for my funeral -- if they won't bury me because they loved me, then they'll bury me to get rid of the stench, the result is the same either way.

Death is the enemy. I believe because of Christ, death is a defeated enemy - but an enemy just the same.
I live this life with an eye for eternal life. I don't believe that any good I do here earns a good afterlife, but I puts me at peace with this life.
I guess there is a sense in which knowing that death is inevitable drives life, but there is also a freedom in knowing it is not the ultimate end.
I'm not biding my time here so that I can go to heaven. But it's easier for me to keep going and being productive here, knowing that I'll see God and finally meet my babies when this life is over. Losing them almost cost me my life. It's only by faith that I reinvested in the here and now.

I think most religious people live for death, since they honestly believe life will be better for them or they will get rewards of some sort in an afterlife. Those of us who don't believe in an afterlife live our lives more fully, enjoying and savorying our time until it ends finally at death.

I live for life because death is only the beginning of real life for me.

I live to live my life as I choose- hopefully I've made a few good choices along the way.

I live for neither, I live for my fellow beings. I live for the possibility of a better tomorrow, for the possiblity to touch one heart. If we commit a good deed to earn rewards in the afterife it loses all of its value.
"Freed by full realization and at peace, the mind of such a man is at peace, and his speech and action peaceful. He has no need for faith who knows the uncreated, who has cut off rebirth, who has destroyed any opportunity for good or evil, and cast away all desire. He is indeed the ultimate man. "

I live my life in preparation for death (afterlife).

I live for God who gives me life, and because I believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and savior, I'll have life everlasting in Heaven. We can each have this, we only need to believe in Jesus Christ, accept Him as savior, and ask Him to forgive us our sins and come into our heart and life and change it forever. He is faithful and true.

I can tell by your question that you need some hugs. I'm not offering any to you but you really need some. You need to step away from this question for now and ask something else like " If hippo's could fly and they had to take a dump, hit me in the head and put me in the hospital, would my health insurance cover this?"
