Why do people ignore the truth that their whole life revolves around the pursuit of the eternal?
Is it so hard to admit to one's self that they were wrong, always have been, and always will be?
I'm an evolutionist, I'm not religous, I'm a scientist and a mathemitician...yet even with the belief that logic was superior to faith, my life still revolved around whether or not the eternal was there. I think at some point I got sick of trying to be 'right' and just admitted what I've known all along. Death is eternal; life is death. We are all eternal. Why such an effort to hide this truth from the self? Is it because the ego dies upon this realization and each subsequent realization of it?
