Life, Death, and Love

These are the only things that matter in the end. I think people who have experienced these things will agree they are by far the most profound.

Like others have said, one really doesn't have expectations to live up to... most of them are just illusions.

Maybe this view would help to liberate some who are at the end of their tethers.

Yes, love is a glorious feeling but so is hate. Both can make you powerful.
Life and death may not matter all that much if in fact this is only one phase of many in our life. This life is temporary regardless. Death may be an exit from this reality and also an entrance to our next existance. Who knows....

thers an old greek saying

"death worrys me not for when I am present it is not, and when it is present I am not"

the same can not be said for love and hate as humans we can be duplicitus in the area.

i think the problem with a lot of people is that they don't realize that self-love is more important than romantic love.

Yeah, love and hate are both very powerful. It feels to me though like love can overcome hate because as where hate is directed at a sort of void, love hits something solid.

I think self-love is equal in importance to romantic love, though judging by the number of older members that agree with bent, that sentiment might change over time.

There is much more to life than life,death and love, there is just being there, when the sun comes up, when yoru child smiles, xmass morn, walking on snow, seeing the star, So much more in evry day of life so rich with things to see and tuch smell feel.

I know I can't really pigeonhole this stuff into three different categories, life is so much more complex than that (so much that no person could ever fully describe it using language), but if I had to I would categorize these experiences with 'Life'. (not just being born)

Sorry I did not wish to inplay there where only 3, as you say life is far more complex a stand alone complex.
