Cancer Rates of Oranjemunders!

[Michael Alexander]

I think I might have said this already...but.... this website, the photo's, lost diamonds, people and old newsletters that I keep scanning make me quite depressed... At the age of 37... I am only starting to realize what life is... what time is... how much of it we have left..........people and animals die.... we get born...... what is faith...where are we all going.... and above all WHY?

Damn  it bothers me so much..... I often start to think that life is indeed unfair.....why?

[Diana Rudd (Boehme)]

This is what happens when you knocking 40. After that you knock 50 and life realy starts again.

Mike I agree with you. I have been trying to understand the meaning of life, the more I try, the less I understand. Sorry if I offend anyone on this site, but must admit, I'm not a Christian. I don't believe in heaven or hell. If there is a God why does he get the credit for all the good but isn't held accountable for all the bad he lets happen, and he is supposed to be omnipotent? Why was I born into the family I was? Why do some people have so much and others so little? Why are little children raped and murdered? And if there is a God , then I am a product of his creation and if I don't believe, he can take the credit for that as well, he created me and put me in this environment that has shaped me. If he does exist, was I created to endure all the crap I have, just to worship him. Why does he want to be worshipped, he must have a huge ego?
If I had to believe in anything (not worship, but believe), I would tend towards Budhism. There is proof Budha existed,and yoga and meditation definitely help achieve a sense of calm and being at one with the world. Budhists believe in live and let live, look after the environment, care about animals. They also don't claim that budha was immortal and is the only way to heaven, basically telling all other beliefs they are going to hell. Basically I believe we are part of evolution, what we have is as a result of what we have been passed on by previous generations and that we have to make the most of our time here on earth. We need to improve and preserve what we have for future generations.
I know this is a touchy subject for some. Jarren told his teacher last year that I want to convert to Budhism, she said:"I think we must lock your mom up in a cage." Sorry if I tread on any toes.

Hi Florrie, what do you think happens to us when our time on this earth is over; do you think we keep coming back again and again, as various life forms; be it man, animal or plant form; or do you think when it's over it is over?

[Florrie van Zyl (Muir)]

Rhona, to be quite honest, I'm not sure what I believe. Like I said, the more I try to understand the more confused I get. I have considered re-incarnation, as it would explain why some have so much and other so little. If you lived a bad life previously, you would have to pay in the next life, it would help me feel better about life being unfair then. Maybe if you are cruel to cats, you come back in your next life as a cruel person's pet. We will never know whether what we believe is right or not. I feel religion is good in some ways because it helps people live with better morals but also bad in that people who take things too literally tend to overdo the religion thing and many people have died or been persecuted in the name of religion. Most of the wars in the world's history have been about religion. I don't call myself a heathen, I am an agnostic (still searching for the truth). Hoping God will make an appearance or something will happen in my life to give me direction where spirituality is concerned.

[Rhona]

Maybe we do keep coming around until we actually get it right and so the whole 'deja vu' thing isn't just coincidence but what we actually witnessed previously...............all very confusing and a whole lot of 'fear factor'

[Florrie van Zyl (Muir)]

Mike, it is amazing how men want a babe-magnet when they reach their mid-life crisis. Either that or they have an affair. I am going for hormone tests on Tuesday, convinced I have meno-pause. Fighting with everyone, not on speaking terms with half my family, sleep badly, putting on weight etc, etc. Luckily I have a family that is so dependant on me, they can't stay cross with me for long because sooner or later they need me to do something for them.
My husband has just bought a Ford F250. Says that is his babe-magnet but I think he is wrong, the men love a F250, not the women.

[Florrie van Zyl (Muir)]

Yes, Rhona, might explain that. I can't understand though that if we do come back as someone or something different, how do these people contact the spirits of the dead unless they are also just a bunch of frauds?
