I'm going to live forever or die trying! So far so good!

Quote:
Paul said in 1 Corinthians 15:[26] "The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death".
But here, I don't really get much meaning from it, and to me it's not really saying anything.

Maybe he was talking about fear of death. Stopping death being an enemy and instead making it, like Ymir said, a friend.

I'm not sure if I should be afraid of death, or not. Many things have happened to me that make me feel as though dying is the least of my worries -- and I am only 20.

Even so, there are so many possibilities and new opportunities in life life; and I don't want to give them up, just to prove that I'm not afraid of dying.

From the Baha'i Writings:

32. O SON OF THE SUPREME!
I have made death a messenger of joy to thee. Wherefore dost thou grieve?
I made the light to shed on thee its splendor. Why dost thou veil thyself therefrom?
(Baha'u'llah, The Arabic Hidden Words)

In my humble understanding....from what I gather all religions have tried to teach us, is that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. so although the body dies and decomposes, that is not our true reality. Our spirit continues on, and once we firmly grasp that and realize that death of the physical is actually a new birth into the spiritual realm, we will begin to understand the significance of verses like the above.

That and to live forever on this small rock would get "old" rather fast. My grandma, at 104, talks about being the last one alive from her childhood friends. Though she says it is nice to live a long time, it does get a bit sad, because so many of the people you loved over the years have died before you. She joked that it was sort of like missing a bus that only runs once every few hours.

Or maybe like being the last one on the school bus because you live so far away from the schoolhouse and all your friends got off earlier. God will tell her, "It was a long ride, but welcome home."

That's nice, I like it. I can easily see that being the case.

When you got to about 130 the government would start to wonder, and then some very rich, very desperate, very old people would come looking for you to do an autopsy to find out why you lived so long. Your objection that "I'm not dead yet!" would go over like the same line in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
