Does Your Mortality Frighten You?

[darksidZz]

It used too, however....... I think perhaps we're mortal because we will die then be free of the troubles our lives brought, ready to begin anew in another incarnation. It may seem unusual but I think some things can only be discharged through death like:

1. massive debt
2. physical abnormalities
3. poor relationships

etc..... mortality may be there for this very reason.

But the percentages are very low, like 99.9 percent, who don't ever become famous enough to be remembered after 100 years after they die.

That means that seven million of the people now living will be so remembered. That's a lot of memorable people. More personally, it means that if SciForums has had a total of one thousand members since it was launched, one of our members is in that group. Perhaps it's you.

a community that pollutes itself to extinction.

There have been many eras during which people thought civilization was coming to an end, and they were always wrong. We survived the rise of the Abrahamic religions. Everything else is a piece of cake.

You'll just have to settle for a bow.

Oh thanks! A nice red one will look cute on my dog.

I agree with you and also thank him for his very good comments.

And thanks to you to. But I'm only doing my job as an elder of this community.
