Isn’t the truth of our existence kind of depressing?

[Anonymous]

It’s like for all of human history you’re here for a short while… every other person who’s ever lived is now dead.

and so often we don’t make a real difference. Like what does it all amount to?

And I mean, you can have Faith in something afterwards, but you don’t know for sure.

I feel like time is a predator. It stalks us all our lives… you can try it outrun it. But you can’t outrun it forever.

We have souls. We are not restricted to our physical body. Our consiousness is not phyiscal, therefore it doesn't perish after death and continues to exist. The only difference is that it is not attached to the decomposing physical body which is nothing but a temporal medium for soul to communicate with and influence the physical world. Our Consciousness commands the brain, and the brain in turn gives instructions to our bodies. We have all experienced it, yet we arrogantly deny it. Close your eyes, and imagine you are standing in front of a magnificent waterfall, imagine the sound of water pouring down. You are obviously experiencing something, it is not physical presence, but you know that what you have imagined, exists somewhere, you see the pictures. Where are they? If doctors cut open your skull, will they find a waterfall in your brain? Will they discover the beautiful scenery you are visualizing? They may detect some signals, they may see some neurons, but signals and neurons are not waterfalls!! We all know it, we have non-physical spiritual experiences each and every day, yet we ignore it, we deny it, we block even much further experiences, we focus ourselves on the phyiscal life without understanding that our true potential is much greater than this, that we do not belong here and someday we abandon our physical bodies. We are not forced to be bounded by time and space, we choose to be bounded by time and space. Death is not the end. Death is when the body dies, you are not the body, you never die, you will continue to exist.

No. Don't be daft.

No one escapes life, alive. I's not "depressing," it's just a fact that you need to live your best life before your ticket is punched.

You can never know from your own perspective how much good or evil you've done over your life. Only others can know, but never all of it. Hence why intention behind action is so important.

Too many people are content to be passengers in their own lives, thinking there will be no reckoning after.

Ever looked at an old photo and thought everything in it is now dead, the men, women children, the animals, the plants all dead now.

No, it's not depressing at all. I'm actually glad there isn't an "afterlife". Who would want to go on existing forever?
