Still, I thought that I would like to say that I would be missing your words until you decide what's to be next. It's true that I may come from a physically distant country but I believe that my blogging journey has been enriched much because of friendships like yours. What the comedian George Carlin has proposed sure sounds like a theme similar to the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. While we watch events around us "live" and "die" in the cycle of life, we learn to make peace with them. Blessings to you and your family for continued good health and well being!

Aging can seem scary, but much of that comes from idolizing perfection, youth, glamor, glitz, and being cool. In other societies, aging is honored and respected. <strong>Hi Lance,</strong> The amazing thing about scripture is that it holds much depth -- The Word really is living and powerful -- changing hearts and minds that are open to it. <strong> Hi Rummuser,</strong> You write, "The opposite of death is not life, it is birth." The writer of Ecclesiastes says the same, expressing the opposites this way "A time to be born and a time to die." He says nothing here of life, either. "...there is never a doer thereof..."? Sounds like fate. I know there are forces and cycles of life and nature, but I'm a big free will fan, myself. Hi All,

Hi Lance,

Hi Rummuser,

“…there is never a doer thereof…”? Sounds like fate. I know there are forces and cycles of life and nature, but I’m a big free will fan, myself.

There is no opposite to life. Life simply is. Events take place, deeds get done, but there never is a doer thereof. If we can understand this, questions like whether life is a circle or a straight line get answered. The opposite of death is not life, it is birth. There is no opposite to life. Life simply is.
