Is there an afterlife?

Is there life after death?

That's actually a pretty silly question.

The real question is this.

Is there life before death?

How would you answer that question? Have you been living your life?

Life ≠ Living

The opposite of death Is NOT living.

The opposite of death is birth.

Living is something you can choose to experience between those two events.

But instead, most sleepwalk through life.

We conflate living with reflexive attitudes and behaviors to life's trials and triumphs that are conditioned and programmed into us.

It bears repeating. Life ≠ Living

To truly live, you need to unlearn your programmed and conditioned reactions to life and relearn being a conscious, responsive participant.

To Summarize

Life is simply the time between birth and death. Living requires awareness, presence, and mindfulness.
