Truth of Life : Evolution or Creation
Purpose of Life and Religions : Isolated or Integrated
Life and its meaning
Life, a term most of us understand and pass through three stages of the same. We were child once, and then we turn into a young person and finally will become old and die. Everyone is not sure to go through all three stages for some die as child, some as young while others get to the old age. The life is so finite and uncertain.
Temporary Relationships
During this finite and uncertain duration, we get involved in so many relationships some willingly and some by birth. We have parents, relatives, friends, wife, children and so on. If we think for a moment, all these relations and associations with people are temporary and they phase out over a period of time as we get to new area of life. Even if one associates for life time, it’s going to end with the death – a truth of life which is known to all and ignored by many. Everyone gets few moments of happiness and some of sorrow, few moments of being together with others and some of being alone.
As a child we engage ourselves, with wish of parents and guardians, in studies, playing etc. Once we enter into youth, our priorities and aspirations change. We no longer get excited seeing a candy or a toy car. We enter into either business or employment and spend half of our day at work. We get married, have children and then starts role of a parent. Along with it, we also play role of a brother, a son, a husband/wife, a relative etc. Once we grow old, the priorities and aspirations change again and we restrict ourselves to few things and few places. And one day we silently move away from the world leaving all associations, relations, belongings behind.
Death – truth of life known to all and ignored by many
In all these, many of us forget or ignore the truth of life i.e. Death. It’s one of the facts that is universally accepted by people of all races, religions, color and caste. Not a single person denied, denies and can deny it. We all accept that life in this world is finite and will come to end one day irrespective of rich and poor.
We also believe that the duration of life is uncertain and not known to anyone though some claim to know it. A person can die in womb of mother or as a child or as a youth or as an old person. The reasons and excuses for death are many ranging from natural death to accidental to intentional.
