Death is such a big constant in all our lives that it deviously hides itself from us. I live everyday of my life mostly as if I were to live forever. The beauty of the creation is that we are all inertial beings and ironically change is the fundamental law governing us. This disparity creates all the behavioral and mathematical constructs enveloping us all around and even making us a part of it. Occasional events do make us realize the fallacy of our existence. Recently one of the incidents made me sit and think about how fragile we all are and whatever we may do and whatever we may achieve it all stays here and we just have to move on. The view described here may look pessimistic but void of the glass is really not empty and it is just my way of looking beyond the obvious. The death they say is just a transition and I believe that so it may be painful but necessary for all of us. Life beyond our physical self may be out of our comprehension now but I think working on it can help us overcome its fear and we can accept it as a fact and prepare for it as well. Our karmic struggle through this world is the part of larger scheme of things and living in this world I think is just a one act play.
We may not live forever but we will exist infinitely.
I have discussed and debated at length about pros and cons of Socialism and Individualism with lots of people and have gained a lot from these conversations. I just want to summarize my views on these two contrasting systems.

Anyone can point out numerous flaws in both the systems in isolation but these two system can hardly survive of their own. It is the relative density of these two systems among cultures which decide its fate. We can observe various societies and nation states around the globe and conclude that political and social forces determine the density of either of the systems. Now the question arises what is a perfect mix for maximizing well being among all humans. If we increase individual or capitalistic pursuit we will have a free market society. This system will reward...
