Seeing life from an eternal perspective helps us focus our limited mortal energies on the things that matter most.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm using the afterlife as a backdrop against which to explore the joys and complexities of being human - it turns out that it's a great lens with which to understand what matters to us.
Eternal life can mean utter reverence for life itself.
Life has no meaning the moment you lose the illusion of being eternal.
Mortal experiences give us the opportunity to assess what we are doing with our lives.
Certain things give you another perspective in life.
The idea that seeing life means going from place to place and doing a great variety of obvious things is an illusion natural to dull minds.
The point of life is to transcend the smallness of the finite self by identifying with things that last.
The awful importance of this life is that it determines eternity.
So I observe life a little bit, rather than participating in it.
I take a simple view of life. It is keep your eyes open and get on with it.
