(506 votes)   Despite that, if these dreams are shadows of God reflected into knowledge, why God’s shadows are dreams? Only because you can wake up from a dream and all these shadows always wake up in an infinite echo which depicts God? If even God’s shadows can wake up, does it mean that God is above awakening? Through Death, absolutely anything receives a connotation opposed to Life, but nevertheless, Life would never be Alive without Its Death which bestows on it its full shine, as Death wouldn’t be what it is.

(359 votes)   When the body sinks into death, the essence of man is revealed. Man is a knot, a web, a mesh into which relationships are tied. Only those relationships matter. The body is an old crock that nobody will miss. I have never known a man to think of himself when dying. Never.
