When I read things like this it prompts the thought - who am I? People talk of mind, body and soul and imagine one without the other. Who knows others may be right - stephen hawking perhaps an example of someone who these days is more mind than body? But for me, I am all three. I can't imagine anything as depressing as being Neo in the matrix - being able to download a programme to learn how to play the piano and becoming an instant master of it - to not experience the joy of failing and learning to pick myself up and try again, to me these are the things that make us human. Of course I understand the desire of others to do differently, to live for ever, but I can't help but think - try really living this life first, and you may find that once is indeed enough - time to give another bit of stardust a go to experience life as we know it.
ReplyDeleteHowever as I often say, Just because we can doesn't mean we should. And that the joy and tragedy of life is that someone else always will.
Thanks for the post, I think I'll re-share it with my comment attached as an alternative observation.
