Life or Death...which is real? which is illusion?


Years followed by years
Days followed by days
Hours by hours
Minutes by minutes
Seconds by seconds
Time passes.


Stop to think, if you can.
Where the point is.
What the point is
to this endless constancy.


Is it to see the Earth rise up out of the horizon
of the moon?
We have done that.

Is it to master the miracles of science, defy the
glory of Mother Nature?
We have done that.

Is it to contact the ends of the earth, from the
deep sea cables?
We have done that.

Or is it to reproduce the master race? Fill this
Earth with humans and eradicate other species?
We have done that.

So What is the point
of the endless constancy?
To live and live?
To die.

There is no years by years
No days by days
No hours by hours
No minutes by minutes
No seconds by seconds
Time is irrelevant
In death.

Life is the illusion,
Life is the lie
Life is pointless
Life is irrelevant
Life passes by.
Death is the reality
Death offers peace
Death offers space
Death offers freedom
Death is release.



i would like others to add on and share your views.

cheerz!

well both of them are real(life and death). because this the very hard truth of world is jo aaya hai woh jayega. and every starting has its end. its like a movies, in which we have to face happyness, joy, painfull events. life goes as a very simple funda. (live smooth). life starts from bith of child and ends on the death of that human being. in between we do some naughty activities, some mistakes, some social work.

so this is true that every strating has its end it means both life and death are real...

Nice text

I think they are both real, allthough life is shorter then 'death'.
Death is only a human word for passing on to the next realm, in wich we live on.
Is not for nothing all old races believed in life after death.
Maybe the life we live on Earth is one big dream, who knows

Ummm... Intresting views

I say that death is the lie, because death is the absence of life, and since we don't TRULY know what happens on the other side, so therefore we must enjoy the little and insignificant existance we have, because we don't know. I veiw death as our spirit's and soul's journey to a better place... to live with the God and His Son... The One who we KNOW loves us, and we stay there for eternity.

Perhaps death is only an eternal sleep... i have no idea.

but I say they are both true, however death is simply the absence of life.

I'm pretty sure life is real, and you gotta face that fact, but I can see what you're saying. Life is a lot of "illusion" in a sense, but it's certainly not pointless. You may not like it, but you have to face it. Speaking of death as being a refuge is just hiding from life; make the best of life while you're alive, because you'll spend plenty of time in the grave.
