mattman27 still pretty vague but that's ok. this stuff isn't simple. i like your analogy to the galaxy. where does the idea of soul fit into all that?

mattman27 thanks. luckily my office-mate knows a lot of the same classic songs, so we occasionally bust out a duet, but in a funny(awkward) a capella/spoken word/poetry slam/karaoke mixture. good times.

mattman27 spend some time with people who can't get out of bed or wash themselves and see how unimportant those things are to them and how important the other parts of their lives are. being conscious is another story though... i don't know what to think about...

mattman27 you seem to have a pretty strong belief about what happens after you die, but not sure i quiet understand your belief. here is a question, is there a way you don't want to die? i have never smoked cause i don't want to die of lung cancer. i can control that...

mattman27 hilarious. ok since you asked, my opinion is you have to try and live as long as you can. whether it be for god, family, or self, even if you believe in the afterlife, or multiple lives, this one is unique and it is the only time you will have these friends,...

mattman27 thanks for the welcome! i have heard this response before, and my first thought is that it is a lose-lose situation, but how do you feel knowing your loved ones will suffer the pain you say you want to avoid?

mattman27 so what are some of your solutions for overpopulation. i think this is a completely overlooked issue in the world, socially, politically, and economically.

mattman27 i think this is a question of personality. you see some elderly people pass away shortly after their spouse, the whole 'where the red fern grows' broken heart idea. others seem to be able to keep on truckin' and enjoy independence, solitude, and peace long...

mattman27 the thought of the afterlife really changes the direction of the question. since the true nature of the afterlife can't be understood during our time on earth, is there ANYTHING that you would understand as a reason someone would considering taking their own...

mattman27 Agreed. I try to listen to bands I 'like' but not too much of the ones I 'LOVE' so I don't get too distracted or break into song in the middle of the office ;)
