Core Beliefs: Mother Nature

Mortality vs Immortality

The rules of Mother Nature are painfully enforced by human biology! For example, hunger is biology’s way of telling you it’s time to eat… again! Many of us work crap jobs forever so we can pay for housing because our bodies don’t do well in the too hot, too cold, too wet, too dry, etc. Biology dictates that are bodies requires so much to maintain our hopefully 70-80 year lifespan!
Our bodies age, which is a fancy way of saying they run down and eventually stop running! We are susceptible to disease, genetic issues that affect health, and require a very specific and stable environment in which to live. How all of these many factors are addressed (or not addressed) by each individual will determine their quality of life!

Core Beliefs: Mother Nature

Influence on Worldview

Biology is the reason our parents worked their jobs year after year! They had to earn money to pay the rent or mortgage because housing is how people protect their frail bodies from the elements of Mother Nature. While this seems obvious, not everyone in society gets this… we call them the “homeless”!

My worldview is that (as an adult) I need somewhere to live and it is my responsibility to do all the things it takes to make that a reality. Earn the money, enter into a housing agreement, fulfil the terms of the agreement, etc. Unfortunately, too many in our society have the worldview that it is the job of others to take responsibility for providing their housing.

My view in this matter is that these people should be forced to take responsibility for their lives! I do not accept the “I am a victim” mindset that Black Americans use to get freebies from the government!

Mortality and immortality are concepts that relate to the nature of life and death.

Mortality

Definition: Mortality refers to the state of being subject to death. It is the condition of all living organisms, including humans, that have a finite lifespan. In essence, to be mortal means to live with the inevitability of death.

Characteristics:

  1. Finite Lifespan: All mortal beings experience a birth, growth, aging, and eventually death.
  2. Biological Decay: Over time, the cells and tissues of mortal beings undergo natural degradation, leading to aging, disease, and eventual death.
  3. Philosophical and Cultural Implications: Mortality is a central theme in philosophy, religion, and culture. Many belief systems provide interpretations of life and death, often involving ideas of an afterlife, reincarnation, or other forms of existence beyond death.

Immortality

Definition: Immortality is the concept of living forever, or having an existence that is not subject to death. An immortal being, entity, or soul would not experience the end of life as we understand it.

Types of Immortality:

  1. Physical Immortality: The idea that a being, like a person, could physically live forever without dying or experiencing the aging process. This concept appears in myths, legends, and some scientific theories that speculate on achieving longevity or extending life indefinitely.
  2. Spiritual or Metaphysical Immortality: Many religions and spiritual traditions suggest that while the physical body may die, the soul or spirit continues to exist forever in some form, either in an afterlife, through reincarnation, or in a different dimension or plane of existence.
  3. Symbolic or Legacy Immortality: In a more metaphorical sense, some people achieve a form of “immortality” through their deeds, contributions to society, art, ideas, or the impact they have on future generations.

Scientific Perspective: Currently, there is no scientific proof of physical immortality for humans or any known organism. However, there is ongoing research in fields like genetics, biotechnology, and medicine that explores ways to extend life, slow down aging, or even prevent death under certain conditions.

Mortality vs. Immortality

  1. Natural State vs. Aspiration: Mortality is the natural state of most living organisms, governed by biological processes and the laws of nature. Immortality, on the other hand, is more of an aspiration, concept, or idea often explored in religion, philosophy, and science fiction.
  2. Acceptance vs. Defiance: Mortality involves the acceptance of life’s finite nature, while immortality suggests defiance against natural limits, seeking to transcend death.
  3. Purpose and Meaning: For many, mortality gives life its urgency, meaning, and value, encouraging people to make the most of their time. In contrast, the concept of immortality raises questions about purpose, change, and the human experience if time were infinite.

In summary, mortality defines the finite nature of life and the inevitability of death, while immortality suggests an existence beyond these natural limits, whether through spiritual beliefs, scientific aspirations, or cultural legacies.
