No one really knows anything about the siritual world......I think its comforting thinking that this "is not" all that there is......even if its just for peace reasons.......It's positive thinking

Is it really? Nietzsche would say it's deeply nihilistic thinking to say that there is more than what is, or that there should be more. Perhaps positive thinking would be to say that what is is all there needs to be.

It's only negative thinking if we live in a completely hostile universe, otherwise the common sense philosophy picks up and the truth of death becomes apparent.

so assume that death is the end of our existance kinda doesn't much meaning to us being here......I'm definately not a preacher, but i believe there is a bigger story to us and the earth......"you cannot know one thing, without knowing its opposite"

what more do you want? is there anything you could possibly conceive of wanting that you don't already have to some degree in life? and if you can sense what it is you want, why don't you get it in this life, instead of saying it'll be granted after death. the fact of death means that you should concentrate your whole existence on getting it. it doesn't mean that your existence was pointless, it means that your existence was the point. if you expect to get the point after death you might miss it.
if you're looking for a bigger story, write it with your life. how's that for cheese? |

It's easy to say that for people with the road to possible happiness laid out before them. What about an orphan in Darfur? Probably to be sold and murdered, so it's just the end for him? No chances to live out the life where he has so many possible choices.
