What Will You Miss and Won't Will You Miss When Your Time Comes?

Just maybe you will reincarnated. ( rebirth of a new soul in a new body) and ordered by God to stay on Earth untill you get it right. I think this is my second or third time through..:yoda:
 

I always find a question like this confusing. On the one hand hopefully I'll be united with all my relatives that have passed, but then do I miss the ones who I left behind? I don't know. If I'm just dead I won't miss anyone. If I am united with my loved ones how do they know each other? Hopefully I'll be united with all my pets as well. Will they all get along?

Drives me crazy.

How do we know what awaits us in death? Maybe since you will never sleep life here will be viewed as crap and we just goof off for 24 hours/day

The Bible repeatedly refers to death as "sleep" until the resurrection. As both Tyndale and Luther believed... they will "sleep" in death until Jesus returns and they are resurrected. From the world's point of view that might be several millennia... but for them who "sleep" it seems only seconds have passed because it's their next conscious moment.

Or... as Shakespeare's Hamlet said:

To die, to sleep;
To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil...

 
Hopefully there is a Heaven because here on earth is sometimes like being in Hell. Where else do you experience the pain of losing someone you love besides earth. So to me Death would be like going to Heaven.

Well, when I'm gone, I'm gone. If I get into a downward mortality spiral, with Death hanging over my bed, waiting to inject her shot of infinity, I'll be happy to be getting away from our disgusting, evil, greedy ways, as the worst species on this planet, bar none, but I'll be sad that I won't be able to have good times with my gf and family, anymore.

This reminded me of a poem I wrote, at nine years old, when left alone with my sister's typewriter:

Death hangs over the old man's bed,
Waiting to inject her shot of infinity.
With their wits, the doctors try to conquer her,
Alas, they to know the outcome,
But does he, as he smiles at his grandson?
Suddenly a gasp.......
All is silent.

You wrote that at nine? You wouldn't be kidding us would ya? Those are far deeper thoughts than one would expect from a child.

Hopefully there is a Heaven There is...never fear.....I look at it like this. You pay your dues on earth for the reward in heaven.

Really?....exactly how is a collection of bones in a box or a collection of ashes in an urn going to be rewarded?

Once we're dead....it's all over.

I won't miss nightmares
(there's a cranny of some really scary shit somewhere in my head)

I will, however, miss naps
No deep REM stuff, but that consciously drifting off sweet sweet slumber
The one where you sometimes snort back awake, open one eye, look around, stare...at nothing....unconsciously smacking lips...and drift back off


wait....


one's coming on now

don't wanna miss it....just yet

I'll miss a lot. The first breath on a summer's day, warm and fragrant, the sound of birds singing in the morning. June roses. HIKING. The way the woods look in springtime. Being hugged because I enjoy hugs and my friends know this and hug me to bits. I'll miss animals, the skunk babies in August. Goslings in May. Mackerel skies. Sunsets. My toes in the sand at the beach. Sigh. I'm going to miss a lot.

Yep, at nine. That same night, I also wrote this:

A joy to be alone,
Ah yes, but then, no.
As on the telephone you talk,
You know you'll have to stop
and hear the moan of the wind,
As you wait, wait, wait
for your loved ones to return.

There was something about being alone with that typewriter. There was something in the air. My Mom and Sister had gone upstairs, at our apartment complex, to visit a neighbor. I think that was the first time I ever used a typewriter to write any serious stuff. After that, I turned to writing tunes, a few years later, but my band did mainly the big tunes of the day, so my tunes sat in a manilla folder, where most still are.

I will miss mostly my husband and pets and the love they surround me with daily. Also will miss the beauty and magnificence of nature. I won't miss seeing the hate and selfishness I see of many people all around the world.

I understand this very much!

I'll miss Big 10 Buckeye Football and golf channel, unless of course, we can get them in Heaven. But I will certainly be glad to trade them for the reunions with my daughter and my late wives. Also, merlot.

I certainly won't miss the constant negativity we see so much of.

Yes, the reunions will be glorious, won't they...I won't miss the negativity either.

Sounds about right~
 
Thank you so much to those of you who answered the topic questions! I hope you have a great day....:love_heart:

So you don't believe in SOULS? You are a believer or you're not. EOM.

Non believer here....in any of that stuff. Exactly where is our SOUL ? before we're born ? If we have one after death?...isn't it reasonable to believe/assume that we have one before we are born?

The above is merely a question, not the lead into an argument. Even though I do not understand the belief...I respect those that do.

BTW...EOM ?
 
Morning in my boat with coffee in one hand and fishing pole in the other. That is my heaven so when I die I won't need to go to heaven because I have already been.
