I believe that to an extent, we all have a hand in what the future holds for us. But, that for the most part, it was already decided for us while we were still in our Mothers' womb! We can aspire for things in our lives...but if they weren't meant to be...they just won't happen! I see myself as a Bestselling Author...! Well, I hope to achieve lots of things in my future...talking about them may invite evil...I'm a bit superstitious!! Good question, though!

Everlasting life? Isn't that what we are promised by God? It's sort of the same as asking "Do you or Would you believe" \nI believe I would. There are certain people who absolutely LOVE life. Everything about it, even the pain and suffering that comes with it. There is beauty in everything. I am one of those people. I LOVE to learn. I learn everything I can all the time. I will always learn and grow and never tire of life or what it has to offer. I would welcome the opportunity to live forever. \nDeath is part of the plan, a process in the journey of our souls. Just like birth, adolescence or graying hair. It may be the end, or the beginning depending on how you see it. But it is inevitable either way.

I seem to read this question more metaphorically, than anything else. Yes, I always seem to do just that. Because I have such a certain future, I seem to have a definite need to squeeze as much as possible into today. I can take nothing for granted, so I just don't let that happen.

Regardless of whether it's blissful or not, if there really is a heaven and you go there, you will be surrounded by people such as those who have just answered your post. Could you imagine an eternity of that? Bring on the pitchforks, there's no way I'm suffering through those idiots for eternity.

Well that's what I already think.\n\nIn coping with death being the end, life became infinitely more precious to me.\n\nWould I seek eternal life on earth... maybe extended, but probably not eternal.

I do believe there is destiny. But, I also believe we could change it!

Wow...i contemplate this question ALL the time.  I'm scared to think that after we die...that is the end.  So I guess for sanity's sake I try to convince myself there is more.  I don't know...this question always gets to me.

I think you are on to something!\n\nYou will no doubt have those come in and sprat about "free will".. but if god knew everything and "has a plan".. then I am voting for YOUR thought here!

yes. your destiny is fixed even before your birth, before your even concieved. although you may believe youre controling your own destiny, it has been planned out long before you reach it. everything happens for a reason.

I admire people who think like you! You have painted the current turmoil in world beautifully in words. I am also wondering whether the answer lies in RELIGION, POLITICS or HUMAN FOLY in itself. I also agree that life is too precious and too short for squables.

Absolutly not! It pains me to think of people going to hell. Even some people who have gotten on my last nerve, I don't revel in the final destiny if they are not saved. It pains me to no end.\n\nWe recently had a friend of the family pass away, and I do not know if she was saved or not.

That's pretty presumptuous.\n\nI am an atheist and I look forward to every day. Just because I can't accept your fairy-tale views doesn't mean that I don't have hope for the future and that I shouldn't try to make the road ahead as bright as I can for myself and those around me.\n\nHaving read some of your posts, I think it's funny that you're looking forward to heaven, when you spout such hatred and intolerance. \n\nMy beliefs, and the beliefs of most atheists, espouse tolerance and an attempt to end suffering when we can. You seem to embrace things that are not good for yourself, society, or the world. If heaven is full of people who hate, I'll gladly accept my belief in oblivion as a better option.

Not on this earth, no thank you.  However, because I have Jesus in my heart, once my body dies my soul will live forever in heaven.  Now that is something to look forward to.

A thought I always ponder, not necessarily ' the meaning', but the destiny or the plan...\n\nMaybe we were a plan of the universe from the moment of its' creation in order to thwart its' inevitable demise billions of years from now.  The universe 'knew' it was going to create conditions likely for intelligent life to form in hopes that one day that  life created would come to grips with the workings of universe and space to the point that it wolud figure out a way for it to exist forever.\n\nTherefore the meaning of an individuals life is to add to the progression of society in anyway.  In other words, do what you like to do that contributes.  It could be something as trivial as smiling at everyone you meet.
