Life On Earth



Born, live and die.
Cry, experience and sleep.
Consoled, taught and awakened.

WOW three lines sums it all up. This could be the answer to Hamlet's famous TO BE OR NOT BE; THAT IS THE QUESTION. The first line is our physical life from birth to death, the part of our existence which is the most generic. The second line is our life in society, which is complicated by our emotional existence, which has its own agenda, desires, dreams to be fulfilled - that's why this part requires sleep to ease the emotional pains, to knit up the raveled sleeve of care as Shakespeare put it. The final line is our spiritual existence, when (I'm making an assumption here) we wake up to a new existence - after death. What an amazing short poem! You are the best of philosophers - you gave us an overview of existence, complete in three short but pregnant lines.
