Live life to the fullest. Enjoy yourself. Do what u most desire, cause time wait for nobody. What is life? born, growing up ( good & bad, happiness & misery, war & peace( not really), death, what is the actual purpose? Think about it.
No one is scared of the act of dying, they are only scared of when and how they will die, we are too afraid to have to leave so much behind when we go but if you were to have lived with no regrets and accomplished all there is you feel 100% content with death is just the means to justify the end of something great.
haha...tell that to people who believe in afterlife or reincarnation. I know a guy who is "collecting" good karma for his next life believing. He has sort of lost hope for current life and devoting himself fully to god. With all his karma collection, he is hoping to get a better life in his next life.
^ But he is not afraid of dying...... he is actually trying to gather all the good karma before he dies..... again making my point sitll valid.....
I am not saying he is afraid to die. I am saying he is not enjoying his current life and sort of given up hope in his current life and that is pathetic. If I am guessing correctly, he is close to being a "40 year old virgin". Believing in karma and next life gave him hope to look towards his next life. It's not that bad considering he is doing religious and charity stuffs. But I can't help but to look down upon him as a "loser". As a friend, I would hope he go ahead and enjoy his current life instead of choosing to shy away from getting laid which I can see he have the desire. And the one thing that is stopping him from being a monk.
