Is death so fearsome that it must be undone? Is this life so poor a thing? Is not eternity somewhat too long?
–Verlyn Klinkenborg
The historical view of young persons is that life, and its continuation, includes hope, and that death is the opposite of this. The rather unknown situation which follows death leads to the apprehension…the fear…of it. So, theologians and founders of religions have tried to present knowledge and details and belief about what follows death…to remove the apprehension about death.
This life is regarded only as “so poor a thing” when suffering deletes hope, in the minds of those who originally had hope.
Coming to the eternity concept…I take the view that eternity is NOT infinitely-long time, but rather, that eternity is a condition, which has no time duration; it is independent of the time-line-coordinate. It thus cannot be described as “long” or “short”.
This is a superb template and layout. The colors/blends are perfect. What is it based on?
Hi Mark, it’s a free WordPress skin. At the bottom of the blog there are two credits given — to Kaushal Sheth and Michael Martine (both names are links). Then I used one of my own photos for the header and altered the color of the text and links a bit. My husband actually adjusted the code to clean it up, and he installed it all. 🙂
