What if today was the commencement of the conclusion or the so called end of days? What if you woke up in a place without beginning or end where would you be? Would you have lived your life to fulfillment all desires accomplished? Or would you have regrets now that tomorrow will never begin.
Many times I have pondered on my position in this existence we call life. Have I earned the entitlement to look forward to heavenly rewards or am I destined to smolder perpetually damned for deeds undone. If nothing else I do recognize I’m not ready to find out. For the only way to find out is to depart this existence; but will I find pleasure in the realm of the spirit world. And as far as I know no one has ever come back to verbalize their conclusions.
I am pretty sure that no two people can expect the same fate. As everyone has their own destiny to live. Therefore how do we debate the pros and cons of something we have no personal knowledge of? Is it my destiny to find the answers one day; only to not be able to share them? So be it as I said I’m in no hurry to find the answers. Just woke up with lots of questions on my mind and the desire to share with you.
