What if life is a ONE TIME THING?

Question

forget reincarnation......what do you make of THIS life?

Answer 1

I think about this a lot....even if there is another life after this one, to live NOW is all there is anywazys...lolz

if this is it then that would make each moment every moment that matters....

squeezing the juice out of every moment...really tasting food...listening to others with all of me...with all of my being...noticing the life around me..the beauty of it...feeling the sun on me..opening to Wonder....so many opportunities to expand n grow n realize how connected we are to everything in existence.

even opening to the unpleasant aspects of life...pain...being hurt....softening to the 'heavier' stuff when the situation calls for it...learning to forgive n let go.

So what if it is? Just do your best to enjoy it here and make the most of it. No sense in worrying whether or not you're goig to come back. If you do, that's cool. If you end up sitting at the right hand of God, that's cool too. If you end up coming back as a cocker spaniel, that's fine. And if you end up just going off to nothingness - that's fine too. The important thing to do is just remember to get the most out of life this time. As a NYer, my opinion of life changed a lot after 9/11. Many people's did. There were a lot of babies born 9 months later because people decided not to wait any more for things to happen. A lot of people did things they wouldnt do normally. I flew to San Francisco by myself just because i always wanted to go there. If you live life right, once should be enough. Pax - C

Answer 3

I live my life as though it is a journey to get to my next life.

I always try to conduct myself in a manner so I can build good memories and set an example for my posterity.

I have faith that I just may be right.

I have nothing to loose but way too much to be gained if I'm right.

I'm getting old now and closer to the end of my journey but I have such sweet memories to dwell on.

Life is good within my environment.

I wake up every morning and say to myself, "I Love Life".

Hope this is helpfull.

Thanks so much for the question.

Answer 4

And what if it isn't? Well we will never know while we are alive .We will have to die first to find out. And if we are resurrected we might have regrets on how we lived. But then it would be too late to make amends because our eternal fate would be already sealed.Can you afford to gamble with your earthly life. The stakes are very high.

Answer 5

Lucky for you, it is a one time thing, but it's for eternity, so that's a long time.

There is no reincarnation, just resurrection.

This life is a test, for the rest of our life, in eternity.

Answer 6

I'm of the school of either you can prove something or you can't prove there isn't something.

Life is to followed as do. Nothing more, nothing less.

I folow fun, others piety, others charity, others as they will.

In the end I can't prove there isn't god, but It makes life more pleasant to be kind to others around me, so I do.

I just do as I do untill time runs out. No fear -no problem

No meaning taken with me.

Answer 7

Then it would be wise to make the most of it. It wouldn't hurt to assume that this IS the only chance you get, because for all we know, it just might be.

Answer 8

Make the most of your life. Have fun, do what you want to do. Dress in what's comfortable, do what's fun, eat burritos, go to Nevada, drink beer, don't drink beer. Do whatever.

Answer 9

You have to live like this is your only chance. If someone ACTUALLY beleives they get another chance to do things they wanted....wow, what a waste of space they've been in this one.

Answer 10

Live happily as much as possible
