yah I believe everyone has their own successes, wishes, desires, and purpose in life. But what about after life? Do you really think we are on this earth to just live life and die?

Why do you focus on life, death and suffering? There are things in between, like I have said. Instead of black and white, think of the other colors (love, friends, family, companionship, obstacles... etc). In life, there are myriads of things to live for. I've NEVER said that we are here to live and die, in fact, my purpose in life is simply to live. Death is inevitable, something that no man can cheat, so why worry about it?

My view is not how you live on earth, but what exactly is going to happen once you die. If your time on earth were all there is to life, then we can forget about being good and ethical, and you wouldn't have to worry about any consequences of your actions. What is the point anyway to go to skewl, to work..etc? TO have a successful life? But that does not mean you can take all those successes with you when you die? So wouldn't it be pointless to live day to day knowing death can come anytime and end ur success right there. I juss believe there has got to be more in life, than the life on earth.

Ah, I see. While you believe that the afterlife is more important, and choose to be content with believing life after death, I choose to be content with focusing on living. There may be Heaven and Hell, but there may also be another life, or perhaps nothing in Death, but I do not wonder about that.

Do you know what success means? How do you define success for yourself? As for me, success means being happy with who I am and what I've accomplished. At this day and age, there are many who realize that tangible wealth doesn't mean success. Success doesn't always mean money, big houses, luxury cars, it could mean loving family or/and peace of mind. I'll be extra happy if I can be wealthy, but I'll be just as successful as Bill Gates if I can raise my family to contribute positively to society, because then I have attained something I've desired my whole life.

As for taking those success with me, I do not wish for my family to die with me, I would prefer they live and find out their own purposes.

I can die tonight, or perhaps the next day... but those thought won't stop me from living. Don't get me wrong, I am scared of Death, but I'm not going to let the fear of the inevitable stop me from living my dreams.

Some Christians say they welcome Death, because It will allow them to be in the presence of their eternal Father, which I have absolutely no qualms against, but that doesn't mean that Christians are right about how to live. Some people live for Christ, others live for money, and there are those who live... to live (with all the colors in between).
