Nothing to Fear

Reah

Once there was a lady, of Hollywood fame.
It matters not her films. It matters not her name.

As she was about to die she stated...
"I know what lies ahead, and what is in store.
"You die. You are gone. No afterlife. No more.

Despite all your disagreements, and persistence,
"I am sure I will disapear, be devoid of all existance.

This week we read of the nation of Amorim, who tore their hair because they believed,
Chilling death is absolutley totally final. Tragically that is is what they perceived.

Of course our viewpoint is radically different. The wisdom of sages we draw upon.
We are told the body dies. But the soul lives on.

Ah the soul!
Pure spirit, existing for now and all time.
Quality so holy, a nature so sublime.

Most Americans, for what it is worth,
Believe there is an afterlife, beyond this earth.

By the way, scientists are confident there is an afterlife, beyond any reasonable shadow of a doubt.
It is something in the news we soon will be hearing about.

So let's enjoy this world of challenges that is clear.
But don't worry. This world is not our "final stop" so there is nothing to fear
