A MATURE mind will not be depressed by stale cliches like " LIFE IS SHORT "
Tomorrow July 26 I turn 75 years old . I get this QUORA.COM message in my e-mail this morning :
[" You have 80 years - if you’re lucky. After you’re gone, in a few short years or however long those around you remember the sound of your voice and your presence, it will be as though you were never here at all. "]
A MATURE mind will not be depressed with stale cliches. The Stoic philosopher Seneca observed that " life is short " about 2000 years ago. What can being ALIVE while you are here mean other than still being a part- a small part - of the HUMAN RACE . Just remain kind, affectionate, curious, and thoughtful to THE END .Then humbly JOIN THE MAJORITY !
Heaven or no heaven we all dissolve into the matrix of the universe - another way of saying the MIND OF GOD . If the whole universe can emerge from divine NOTHINGNESS , what else is possible ?
Are not three quarks in the elemental proton a sort of Holy Trinity of Creation ?
