Valuing this life or desiring another where do you stand?

I have no understanding why anyone would want to throw away what they have here if they are unhappy they need to look for ways to change thier life and live it here. I See no way that they need another place to be worthy hey need to be worthy here first!

Hi whiteheron, I agree with you in that we must value this life. I think many people have gotten the wrong idea from religion, whether this was intentional or not. It seems that a lot of people look at life at a student looks at an exam with heaven being the reward. I believe that we came here with a purpose, that we are spiritual beings having a human experience. You are right in that we are meant to live this life fully, to see the good in all people and our connectedness with all life. It would be a wonderful world if we realized that there is good everywhere and in all things instead of looking for and finding fault. We are not going to find happiness by killing each other but rather by loving each other. You can be certain that many people will be very unhappy in a heaven where there is nothing to complain about and no one to find fault with. My hope is that someday we will all know the truth that makes us free. Blessings.

I guess this relates to constantly living in a dreamlike state and I'm definitely guilty of this. There are times when I just close my eyes and ponder! I think about how I would like to be living another kind of life in another kind of existence and I have to admit that it can be quite pleasurable at times! I guess not all of us are happy with our own lives and so we dream of experiencing another kind of life. I personally value this world and it's a real shame that it's slowly being destroyed by the human race! I like to play my part in terms of never using plastic bags and I do a lot of cycling as well! It's just a small part that I play but I'm sure that if everyone did the same then it would definitely make a significant difference. I'm going to remain positive and say that I believe that humanity will make a huge difference over the coming years as we become more educated in terms of looking after this beautiful planet! Andrew

Value whatever you have now, especially your life. Many people seem to ignore this in the sense that, they eat unhealthy foods, they do things rashly, jaywalk and things like that. On seeing this, I wonder why they want to kill themselves like this. It's not like we will become humans in our next lives. We could become animals, or humans again, who are less fortunate ones. We should treat our lives with respect and should do good all the time. We should do the things that will make us feel good, this is what I call by valuing your life.

We need to value the life we have in front of us. It is the only we csn truly be happy. Wishing and desiring something more may not always bring to us what we think it will.

...it's a good idea..if only everyone learn to understand each other and value the things around us, including people and the nature that God provided us, the world would be a better place to live..however, we know that is not the case, God provided us, other people are abusing the freedom that God gave us..destroys the things God created and destroy the nature and the mother earth...if we aim for changes, let us start it in ourselves, eventually, one thing will lead to another and hopefully we will achieve a better tomorrow for the earth and for the entire living things on it..

live and work for this world as if you would never die and live and get ready for the otherside as if you would die tomorrow.

There is too much pain in this world some are lucky but the majority is not living well and cannot see the beauty around them. If they were one of the lucky ones they would have seen the beauty around them they would have had a different perception. Perhaps it's all about perception but there are many things in this world that don't allow to see them in a different window.
