Are we living or are we dying?

    Hey guys just wondering this may sound strange but would you say we as humans are living or are we dying?

    As we are getting closer to death so does that mean we are dying?
    Or are we living as we may not feel no pain or discomfort as we do not believe we are dying?

    Would like to know your views.

    Will.

    So your aim in life is to die, or are you saying in the end that is all we shall do die? Does anyone believe in reincarnation?

    Perhaps reincarnation is well not a way out of it however a way of developing further. I know Samurai believed in reincarnation and they were not afraid of death. They did not live to die but live to serve, so perhaps because of their beliefs they never die.

    Hope someone understands this ^^

    well it all depends on what religion you are and your views.
    For Christianity, we believe when we die our spirits will live and be alive with God so.

    however, there's no one being alive foreever thus we will die one day.

    All you have to do is dont care about and think about it and keep on living usual life.

    And now that it is targetted with seriousness, this thread should be in Politics & Religion section now

    Death- the last sleep? No, the final awakening.

    For death begins with life's first breath
    And life begins at touch of death

    yes, death is the beginning of a new life.. so there is no permanent in this world, except the word of God. Heaven and earth will fade but God's word is still remain... If you're living without God in your life, then your existing is futile and useless. We are living because of God's love.

    Do your present, live present days without regret and that’s it. Nothing to worry about death.

    If you focus on dying your life won't be worth living, you should live every day as if it was your last.

    it can be both but more on the former. how could we die if we have not lived first? for something to die it must have life first, not the other way around unless we are like God who can create something out of nothing or like Jesus who was dead but was brought back to life again thru his resurrection.

    so we first must experience how it is to live, to be living in this world in order to know the feeling of dying, or to want to die if we've lost all hopes and think no one needs or loves us.

    because we live, we go through all kinds of feeling, good or bad...we go through all kinds of hardship and pain, because life is not a box full of chocolates (Forrest Gump)...

    it is when we're much overwhelmed with the bitterness of life that we feel like dying...and only when we surrender do we really become dead.

    but death? yeah, all of us are afraid of it, who's not? But can we do anything about it? can we help it? who knows when you or I will say goodbye to this world? death is really just one breathe away, one blink of an eye. we may do everything we could to keep us healthy and safe, but when it's our time, it's our time. we won't even know it. so what does it matter if we die? what does it matter really unless you're concerned WHERE you're going after? We only got one life to live - only one - to ensure that when we die we will end up in heaven. And it's not even good works that can take us there. Jesus. It's Jesus...We can't afford to ignore Him in this life.

    We never born and we will never die .

    Our body has taken birth and it will die . It is dying slowly and slowly .

    Do meditation , it will help in understanding the life ;)

    "We're living."
    - Optimistic people

    "We're dying."
    - Pessimistic people

    :p
