There are so many controversial topics, opinions, pros and cons to everything, overcomplicated evaluations and purposes, self-gain driven suggestions and gray areas to life in general.

I invite all and anyone to share a common indisputable truth, in it's purest and simplest form, that mankind has taken for granted or forgotten due to modern life's overbearring problems.

From the moment we are born, we are all dying.

Sorry...not meaning to be depressive, just the only indisputable truth I could think of right now.

Life is a journey we all must take, one step and one day at a time. How are things in R.I. ? That is where I am from originally.

I like to think about life in terms of multiple truths. Even the above quote is not absolutely true because on could say that "From the moment we are born, we are living, until we die." Just a thought.

Yes, I don't know why most people find that so hard to believe . If something is dead, it is just that, unless you believe 'Weekend at Bernie's II,' was a documentary.

thumbs up But that is philosophical truth...not indisputable truth.

The old saying is that there are only two absolute certainties in life: death and taxes. I maintain that there is only one: death. There are people who live where there are no taxes, or manage in some way to avoid them. Death comes to us all.

Attempts to define something limit the very nature of that which we are trying to define. Is death a part of life?

Death is a term created by people to describe an event, but is it an accurate definition/descriptor and how quickly we have decided/accepted that it is?

Very true...death is just the beginning of life in a different form. It's only the death of the physical body, not of the soul, which is who we really are. The life cycle is a circle...death is but one part of it.

Physical death is just a transition...

And while I respect that, I'll never understand it. I see God differently than the Christians, but I still believe in God. I see It in everything, and how it works together...there was some sort of Divine Intelligence involved in creating all of this.cheers

I agree with you there....everyone, once born, has to die; but not everyone will pay taxes.

exactly,
you could make the argument that we chose or volunteered to be born forth knowing every aspect of our life and death before it ever happened.

Yes...and I believe in that theory. That our soul made those choices for its growth before coming here. This is Earth School, and the toughest in the Universe, according to some. I believe it...and it's why we have such diversity.

There is 3 truths, your truth, my truth and the differences between those truths.
