What is it about modern age man that we all desire some form of immortality? We all seem to be seeking not just our allotted fifteen minutes of fame but rather life eternal in whatever form or substance that we feel we are best suited to?
Having a heart attack, or a stroke for that matter, is surely natures way of saying to us, get a grip on things if you want to enjoy in the indulgence of life on Earth. That is to me exactly what life is all about, that Nature, the Universe, or the Creator has indulged our egotistical souls and allowed us to come down from wherever to play on this delightful planet. Like any game we ever play there will always be the time limit thing. Yes time, as in the second, minute and hour context is very much a human manifestation, but time whether it be clock bound or dictated to by seasons and Sun and Moon is an integral part of life in any form.
Is the continuation of life so important to some of us that are are willing to happily take on someone else's body parts so that we can continue on our own journey in search of perfect immortality. How can we honestly say that we are complete and perfect when we have borrowed parts from someone else's loss of human and Earthly life?
Are we so egotistical that we think we can remain here forever, and not sooner or later begin to be rather boring? Why are we so great that we can even think we deserve to be one of the immortal chosen few?
Immortality is seldom handed down to us in our human bodily form, yet it can so easily be achieved by words and deeds.
I would far rather live on in the minds of men for something I have done or said than be remembered simply because I have outlived millions of other souls that exist or have existed on Earth.
