Humans have one BIG limitation. Its the five senses. Our source of knowledge is limited to five senses which means that we cannot perceive "absolute" truth about anything.
For example, I see a rose. Now this truth is relative to my sense of sight. If my sight were deceiving me, I would be perceiving something wrongly. Next step, I smell it. My nose could be deceiving me. Next step, I taste the petals and feel their taste. My tongue could be malfunctioning. Finally, I touch it. Well, after all it could be a dream. For when in a dream, we aren't aware that we are dreaming. This life could all be a big dream and perhaps (and as the religions say, it is) death is the wake from this dream when we wake to a more vivid perception of self. When in a dream, we feel its real, but its only when we wake (to a more vivid perception of self) that we know it was a "dream". So can't it be (as I believe it is) that this life is in a lesser sense of perception of self while death opens the door of more absolute truths to us.

^ I think it could be as you say.
I have had these half finished thoughts, I can't complete the row of thoughts, but maybe someone can help me see?
I often thought about the saying "you can't take your possessions with you in the grave", you can also say that everything you experience and feel you can't take with you either (who knows). So here I am wanting to see every country in the world before I die. But why be in such a hurry, if I can't take those experiences with me in the grave anyway?
or
What if we are given this body because we should enhance our experiences as a soul by being able to taste, see, touch, walk, smell, hear, talk and interact with other human beings, it could be that we are born into a body because we should learn something from it, become a better soul when we die.
or
Life is like a switch, someone or yourself turns it on, and someone or yourself turns it off again. Sometimes I believe this thought most, because our brains works with electric impulses.

I solely agree with your second para. The action of body indeed has an effect on the soul. Thats the main philosophy of the good and bad deeds.

Birth and death, it's what you do in the middle that counts! To make a positive impact on someones life gives life meaning  |

That's good. I think that is the nicest and the most positive of the three thoughts. |

That's deep. I like it.
Thank you. You seem like a deep thinker and a sweet person. I think deep down we all just want to be happy and have those around us be happy. I just want to say I was able to make a difference in people's lives! |

Yo. In fact it was the most sarcastic comment that could ever be imagined. Means you have an original ability around here. It helps in surviving, if you know what it means.
lol I have no clue what you're talking about. . . |

Haha, an 8.3837 years old can understand it in 987.92882 seconds while a person 99.3872873% close to your age wouldn't take more than 37.92892 seconds to get the message. I guess this has risen error #XC878BT9. (Do I make any sense now? Do I look familiar?     ) |
