Yesterday (20 / May) was my birthday; I turned 59 years old and now Iām in my sixtieth year.
Celebrated modestly also because my wife and my three daughters were elsewhere.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, 'Wow! What a Ride!'
Even I was a biker (last motorcycle: Moto Guzzi 850 GT in the 1986); I traveled a lot in Europe, then I met my wife, and with the family, I sold the bike, but inside Iām always a motorcyclist.
I agree with your thinking and Iāll tell you my philosophy of life; is simple: this universe is a Creation, so it is artificial, it was created / realized / built. The only āthingā true, is the conscience that has not been ācreatedā but given by God through the symbolic ādivine breathā.
At the beginning of Creation it was divided the Light from the Darkness, that (example) as if from a radio station transmitting on two different frequencies and transmit two āthoughtsā slightly different. The first frequency we call āphysical / materialā (light); The second frequency we call Spiritual (the ādarknessā, but only because we do not see).
The ādark matterā that scientists perceive, are the ādarknessā of the Bible.
We live to have experience and evolve through them, there is only one Law: live and let live.
