Regardless of your religious, spiritual or political background; how do you justify your mortality?
You, on this Earth, you live and you die. But why?
Please don't turn this into a flame war about which point of view is right though venomless queries are encouraged.
Personal Example.
I believe I'm here on this Earth as a biological fluke. I think that the consciousness we experience is just a melting pool, a biproduct of our experience.
I also believe in a universal consciousness, with every single part playing a critical role by merely existing.
My body is constantly shedding itself, when I finally expire I don't fear death because although I slip back into a more subtle role, I'm still an intricate part of the universe.
Your philosophies?
p.s. note to LostCause, posted in My God because I was interested in the differences between religious, spiritual and athiest viewpoints that tend to clash here.
