Life is strange. Everyone is happy when someone is born, forgetting that life is difficult and that it ultimately comes to an end. This life on its own has no purpose and that is why we should hope that there is something beyond this life, it gives purpose. That said, we should not believe in a life beyond this one simply to find purpose. It would be sad to believe in an eternal life without any real faith in it.
Howcome this reflection today? I just learned that a distant relative passed away. She passed away before her parents and that made me really think. Her parents experienced the happiness of her being born in this life but, after more than 50 years, also experienced the desperation of seeing their daughter leave this life before them.
Who can understand life?
