Life, for however many years we experience it, is a temporary thing. Many religions agree on the point, I think the Emergency Broadcast System said it best, "This is a test. This is only a test." That's how I personally feel about the subject, at any rate, that there is a more permanent thing that follows for us. It is not, however, an excuse to shirk our living with vague fantasies that we need only wait for an eternal bliss to come. I was taught before I saw the movie Dead Poets Society the phrase, "carpe diem" — seize the day. However much there would be joy within the gates of Heaven, I wish for a long life, to accomplish all that I can in my days.
The urgent hours pass by so very quickly at this time in my wondering. I feel like I have no time, and yet I spend my spare minutes a vegetable in front of the TV set. I just work, eat, and sleep. In this temporary condition called life, I feel it more and more as the moments progress inevitably on: it is a short time we live, merely a prolonged inhale before we let out our breaths in eternity. Another quote comes to mind, now, just one line from another movie (the rest of it was so-so); from Serendipity: "The ancient Greeks didn't write obituaries. They only asked one question after a man died, 'Did he have passion?'" What will they say about me? About you?

But listen up Stand, what if life does not end. What if we do not come to Heaven nor Hell,But that in fact our activities are accounted for and from that we are given a new life,kinda like a reeincarnation. Then ther would be no beginning nor an end,kinda like an everlasting circle of life..
Just keeping an open mind, i really have no clue whatsoever..but it could be..who knows..maybe..
