Culture of death grinds on. More than sad. It's as though human life is nothing more than a combination of chemicals. If the chemicals aren't in synch properly, turn off the switch. Or plants - if one is growing funny, uproot it. But we are more than meat and electricity. The soul is not limited although the body and mind are. The more a person can understand this truth, the less shackled they feel, even though the body is limited.

Heck, everyone's body is limited. I can't even do what I used to do, and I'm only in my 50s. I can't run the way I used to, or swim, or dance. Heck, sometimes it's even a chore to climb the stairs if my arthritis is acting up. Someone with more problems than me could say that I don't understand the pain he or she is in. But no one can really know the pain of another.

Physical suffering can spur a person to look for spiritual reality within. That's actually its purpose. The argument that if a person is suffering they should die - where does it stop? Only certain kinds of suffering? Or any kind?
