Death...

What happens after death? Rebirth? But that would assume that birth itself is transitional, which implies that death is also transitional in itself, and does not at all address the question of what happens after death.

Before we attempt to answer this question, let us first ask the question, WHAT is death? So what exactly is death? According to linguist, death is the opposite of life. According to biology, death is merely the cease of functioning of a cellular structure, cascaded throughout the macros structure of the organism. In computing, death means deletion. In Buddhism, death is merely the process by which sould are re'packaged' to be reborn in another body; kind of like a recycling process. In Cristianity, death is a time for the judgement of deeds done by the individual during his time of living. To me, it means that you cease to function/exist.

So, in relation to death, is life the opposite of death? Or is death opposite of life? Ecologist always says that there is no life without death, that for life to begin, death must happen. Logically then, if there is no death, life would go on forever (just like immortals who life forever but unable to create life-eg.:have babies) but falling into a recursive logic, how did THAT life begin since life cannot begin without the death of something? But that logic is beyond me. I'm having problem dealing with death myself, let alone trying to combine it with life! :D

So now that we narrowly skimmed the surface of the question, "What is death?", we began our answer to the question of, "What happens after death?". Depending on your religious affiliations, answers varies. To many people, death is BAD! To some people, death is GOOD. For example, if a wife lost her husband in a car accident, she will be anguished, and thought that death is so damn unfair. But to the priest, he will tell the widow that her husband is simply going to a better place. But will this comfort the widow? Of course NOT! Becouse anyone with half a brain will tell you that if it is a better place, why not all people die? The priest sometimes say that good people die so that they can be with God. If that is so, then all babies by defination should be dead the moment they are born, becouse they are the purest, and the 'goodest' of all people; no sins of any kind. But why aren't they? So the argument by the priest is nonsence. But this tirade does not answer the question, "What happens after death?".

Only when there is someone who died, and came back from the dead can tell us what is really there, of what happens after it. Otherwise, the answer is just simply..."I do not know...".

Good night everyone.

It's been a year.....

Wow. It's been over a year....give or take, and I've only managed 99 postings? This is either so weird or sooo unbecoming!

Great news today. I was chatting with my long time friend back in school, my junior actually, and during the course of our chat, she actually said that I've changed! Oh WOW!! I've CHANGED!! Waitaminute! What does she mean I've changed?? Apparently she meant that I am more humble/apologetic and less prone to angry outburst...if she'd only knew...but nothing like a faith in me from a dear friend to make me wanna keep this new side of me.

Fron today henceforth, I shall not be prone to quick outburst of energetic anger energy. Anger management is IN! Loving professor is IN! Angry outburst is OUT the door sista! All hail ME!!!

Okay okay, so the last part about the "all hail me" is a joke. Come on, can you blame a guy for trying? :p
