Life in Question
September 20, 2006
Why are our lives so important? That's not a rhetorical question. What is the significance of the lives that we live? If going to heaven is the ultimate destination, why are we so hell-bent (pun intended) on staying here on earth? Why not die young and blameless so that we are assured of going to paradise? Before you get any ideas, let me categorically state that I don't have any suicidal (nor homicidal) tendencies. But why do we have to go through all these things when it is all for naught? Money, prestige, power, knowledge, beauty —– all these and more, we cannot bring to the afterlife. Why do we consider them of utmost importance? In the overall grand scheme, what is the purpose of living our lives here on earth?
