Materialists say:
Death is the End
Of all there is
…
Consciousness annihilated
Dreams, tears, struggles,
Kindness, morality, aspirations
Deleted… permanently
As if never existed
Thoughts, emotions, ideas, artistry
Love, laughter, memories, joys
Wiped out
Entirely… Eternally
Without a trace
Only matter exists
When a body dies it disintegrates
A lump of flesh
A pile of decaying compounds
The saint and the foe in the same hole
No feelings, no conscience, no loss no gain
No awareness, no future, no joy, no pain
People of faith say:
Death is nothing but a new beginning
A birth into a world supreme
…
Expansion of consciousness
Beyond time and space
Explosion of feelings, creativity and perception
Far beyond material experience or worldly restriction
A transformation from density of matter
To sublimity of the soul
An awakening to the majestic Truth
From the confinement of illusion
As if a mystic dance of subatomic particles
Constantly traveling, forever arriving
Perpetually swaying
Entangled in a mysterious web of duality
Yearning to the oneness of the Divine
A breathtaking journey, matter to wave, darkness to light
Life and death are intertwined
super imposed
A galactic twirl spiraling up in a glorious cosmic tale
Now, you !
What do you say?
