"Obsessing" would be clearly a wrong term. Who would get obsessed with philosophical topics? Buddha did before he was Buddha. Before he was Buddha he sat down under the bodi tree and said this is as far I go until I know, and he didn’t know what he didn’t know. He was willing to die there...

I don't ponder at all. I just like to hear on what other people think about these things. By “pondering” I might more accurately have said “obsessing”, as can be the case with committed inquiry into any classical philosophical question. "Obsessing" would be clearly a wrong term. Who would...

Utter and total nonsense. Death has no Point of view. How can death happen without living beings? And bear in mind death is always a living being's death. You cannot talk about death separate from life i.e. life of someone. So you were talking wholelotta nonsense. You are confused. Read back or not...

If death is for definite end of all the livings, then is there meaning in life? One does not need to know the meaning of life to live, nor the definition of death to die. Ah, but you would like to know. Then, my friend, by pondering these things you may be kept up at night into the unforeseeable fu...

No. Death can do nothing. It is not an active force of nature, but a cessation of activity. It cannot annihilate. Becaue it is a termination. It is simply the conclusion of the life-history of the individual. It completely that story. Whatever the individual may have achieved will persist - sometim...

You cannot have the meaning if you are seeking it.

Because I don't have the meaning now, I am seeking it, until I do.
I thought this was a valid logical statement.

No, it is not coherent.

Where do you see a problem?

You said "If death is for definite end of all the livings, then is there meaning in life?" Death is the end of the life of an organism. Why would that challenge meaning? Then you said "How do you define death, and meaning of life?" Death is the cessation of life. The definition ...

All I mean by gnosis, is having knowledge of God (that IT exists) I see. Gnosis is also a religious belief, sector and school. :roll: U fukin post an emoti rolling ya eyes at me (when I have attempted to point yer quest_ions in the right direction) u fukin imbecile.

Can religion do anything about it? ... Even the most successful and powerful people seem suddenly die, and depart from this world without ever coming back. So what was the meaning of their hard work for the success? Religion ... Not for me specifically. But it helps many, maybe it can help you too....

Are you deliberately avoiding the question or do you not undertand what I am asking? Why do you interpret being open minded as "deliberately avoiding the questions or not understanding your question"? Is it not some sort of linguistic distortion? Are you deliberately avoiding the question...

Zarathustra, you are asking the wrong people about this: Sculptor, Harbal are hardcore atheists! Me on the other hand, I have hardcore gnosis (since 1997)..and I believe some sort of intelligence, such as God is required for anything close to "immortality", which I think has limitation pe...

Could you tell more about your meaning of life? Do you believe in immortality yourself? Zarathustra, you are asking the wrong people about this: Sculptor, Harbal are hardcore atheists! Me on the other hand, I have hardcore gnosis (since 1997)..and I believe some sort of intelligence, such as God is...
