What's more important

Hello, everybody. I have a question. It's a bit of an odd question, but this is slow. So here we go. I want to know out of the two days in your life, the day that you are born and the day that you die, which day is more important. And why do you feel that way? Curious to see what everyone has to say

And the fact that you're born it's like Buddha says, right? It's just a life of suffering. It's some sense because you go through a lot of desire, and with that desire comes a lot of suffering. So from a Hindu philosophy perspective, the day you die is very important

An answer in #urdu #poetry

So my answer to your question is that those two days are probably the least importantday two days of your life, because those are the two days you don't have any control over the rest of your life is where you get to live it. And all the other days are all you have. And you need to make a conscious effort to live your life the best you can

The view from the eyes of a simulationist...

So I consider myself a simulationist if at all anything like that exists. So I think we come in this world as blank slates of neural networks that grow and process more information, process and collect information and share it with the world and imprint our memories good and bad on this world so that the world may learn from us and become better. So the day we die is a little bit sad considering we as information processors, have outlived our usefulness

So we have a chance to see it from beginning to end, and we can look at it. We can review it. But as long as you're living, the book is not complete, so we can't say how things are going to turn out. So that's why I believe that The Day You Die is the most important day of your life

So hypothetically speaking, what happens if we manage to beat death and go on to live forever

For me, how you live is what's more important, because that determines how important your birth was and how important your death it turns out to be because if you live well, you will be grateful for having been born in any circumstance. And if you live well, you will also be remembered for your life before you die. So what happens between birth and death is more important than birth and death as that determines the importance of birth and death

Hey, guys. I just wanted to join this conversation. That's an excellent question. Which day is more important of being born or dying? Honestly, personally, I don't think it's the fact of being born or dying. I think it's the fact of what day or days in your life have you impacted the world in the biggest way? I think those are more important than the actual being born or dying

And you kind of close that and move on and sort of take a reconnaissance of all that has been and all that you could do and couldn't do and so on. So for me, both the days are equally important
