Why Can’t I be Immortal?

In this present life why can’t I be immortal in mind, body and spirit? Why is it pundits claim that I have to depart this world to accomplish my dream.

If you don’t want to die

Think about the reasons

Why can’t I live perpetually

To be as old as the hills?

- – -

Why me?

What have I done

To deserve this ultimate fate?

All this nonsense is literally

The kiss of death

- – -

Have I not been good?

Living a respectable life

Doing no harm to others

And giving to the poor?

- – -

Have I not loved my neighbor

As myself

As the good book says?

- – -

Have I not sought forgiveness

For the bad things

I knowingly and unknowingly do

When I falter?

- – -

But why should my earthly

Being be cast down

To become dirt?

- – -

From the beginning of time

All have died

They grew old

And withered away

- – -

Despite the many explanations

I hear about this subject

I still can’t understand why?

- – -

I would just like to never age

Be immortal in mind

Body and spirit

- – -

I know

That’s presently impossible

But why?

- – -

Very intriguing points.

Well, scientifically, there is not room for too many more people on this planet. If we all stay and new people are born each day, eventually there will not be enough resources to sustain us.

On the other hand, some of our friends and loved ones may not be as “good” as us. Would you want to live and see everyone you know pass away? I wouldn’t.

A question asked by all, \” Why can\’t I live forever?\” Well worded verses.

Wow! Such a well-crafted poem, Erwin – and actually, every bit of it is MY SENTIMENTS EXACTLY!

Fantastic work.

Death is right. Wonders of this phenomenon, we have them all! Because you do not find a totally ignorant that death is right, and that is definitely coming in whatever moment, suddenly and by surprise

Growing old and dying are two inevitable and undeniable fact of life. All living creatures are not exempted from it.

The first key to feeling and being immortal on this plane is never being obsessed with time. The clock has been the downfall for many of human; literally. There are people who turn their clocks back. I’m going to send you a PM to a link in time. It obviously does not stop rid the imprisoned soul from releasing. But honestly, if a spirit is genuine in pursuing living in the light of being respectful of live and other humans; that is not deliberately being deviant; why would one want to stay so limited as to live just this life? That’s how I deal with getting wiser. I love this life; but in wisdom, I am a believer that there is so much more vibrant beauty than what we call reality as breath, speak, eat and sleep. I will never believe that dust is the end. Or that we leave hear to sing, Ooo with hands clasp only either. Isn’t it wonderful the ability to question and have opinions? Thanks for the heartfelt share and the ability for me to do the same.
