I think it's an interesting belief to believe that people 'choose' who they are and how they live, how long they live etc. It's been said the rain falls on the just and the unjust ~ the sun shines on the 'bad' and the good'.

I like things short and simple ~ to me, life is just a big **** shoot, no matter what one believes.

But all I can do is pray for those who suffer and try and do my own small part in making the world a better place to live in... Its constructive.

SoulSparkles.....

I also have the same faith as you, only the reason seems inexistent at times...

I want to make my own small part also, I use writing for it, I found it to be a great way to reaching many people at the same time, hopefully at least some will listen.

I have always believed you chose when to die, but then something happened that made me feel that you could put yourself in the wrong place at the wrong time, hopefully I am very wrong!

A big **** shoot?

A **** shoot is a game of dice ~ a gambling game.

Oh, I see!

I can see it in some events, but in some there seems to be a bigger reason for things. Like the person who avoids a plane crash, because they were late and missed it.

Maybe things are like Steve Jobs said, we cannot connect the dots when looking to the future, only when we look behind we are able to see how things connect to each other.

I like that, smart fellow he was.

Oh yes he was, unfortunately he didn't seem to be that great of a boss!

Have you heard his speech? He gave it at Stanford University in 2005, he said such great things in it, very motivational!

I agree Robert ... everybody passes ... death is part of life and, like you say, it doesn't discriminate ... many people are seen, by those still living, in a more understanding light after they have passed ... but that's digressing ...

I know I won't change your way of thinking, nor will you be able to change mine, for I believe in reincarnation just because I know it to be true, like a innate knowing...but I enjoy the discussion
Yes I enjoy discussing this stuff also, and in the end none of us really know what were talking about lol, ..Consciousness goes nowhere, it is the energy that is molded into whatever, but this is from Consciousnesses not pure Consciousnesses its SELF, this world that we live in, is our dream, yes we all dream together. Some Awaken in this dream and realize that there is more than just this dream, but still the dream goes on.

I'm not out to change anyone's mind, I just realize my own inner truth and that is all I ever share, I also never say that I know anything to be true, that would be arrogance on my part, as I said I can only share that which I have experienced.

It sounds very Matrix like! Although for me we are dreaming, and when we die we wake up.

I really hope there is an After Life, and I'll be able to meet my loved ones there, especially someone who was taken away violently and prematurely.

I just wished the truth was given to us, in a way no one could doubt it, making things so much easier! But that's just me, Miss Impatient! Would prevent a lot of wars at least!
