... not sure what word to use to describe my thoughts...
worthy? fantastic? priceless? to die for?
was reading fantasy books where there are creatures who are immortal. and I asked if there truly are immortals who are walking this land?
when u think about it, we are "immortals" in some sense.
if you believe in cyclic existence, than we never really "die", in the no longer existing sense of the word, because our "consciousness lives" on.
And I suppose the Buddha could be considered an immortal? Of course not in the way and terms of the lore.
In any case, we should be thankful that we are not immortals. for than, the suffering would be endless. as it is, we should grateful for small favours, in this case, the pain of rebirth where we have no memories of our past suffering. imagine having to carry those pain and fear, living on for endless times where the dissatisfaction never ends.
it is a plus, also a minus of cyclic existence.
True immortality (to me), is in the state of our minds. When our mind is free from delusion, time and space will be seen in its true nature.
