Do you ever look at the short time between birth and death and wonder why you don't just take it easy?

Answer 1

That's interesting. Many would say go do something important since there is so little time.

Answer 2

Yes, just last week, when I went to my cousin's husband funeral.

I heard the words : Our "life is so short" so many times, but it bounces, never entered my brain's nerves.

I knew, when my husband died, I said, almost like :
"Well Bill, aren't you lucky, you are free now, you dont have problems anymore" .

Since that time, I thought death is not bad at all. He was not ill, didn't even know he had heart problem. So no "preparation" .

But when I was in the funeral last week, I really felt, how short actually life is and how meaningless all of the huzzles and puzzles are.
Life seems for nothing, I dont know why i felt that way.

It's a good strike for my nerves tho. The "nothingness" , revealed strongly .
Well that's only my feeling, I wonder what the others say, I like to read the anwers. Thanx for yr Q.

Answer 3

easy to say when you can see it from an eternal point of view but when living life it can seem like an age when you are three and a blink whe you are eighty .
but your point is valid indeed , the time is a tiny amount when looking at the big picture . maybe thats why many belive we keep coming back .

Answer 4

No. I keep thinking about how little time I have to accomplish what I want with my life. Do you have any spare time I can have? I have asked lots of couch potatoes, but none of them has ever been generous enough to give me any. Do you see what I mean?

Answer 5

I tried that and actually found that for me "taking it easy" made life harder then actually working hard and keeping busy. Whatever floats your boat I guess.

Answer 6

Yes, but I still don't take it easy.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10
