Wow. It's amazing that people would actually consider life in prison or many years in prison is better than death is completely ignorant to me. The brutality of incarceration which includes fighting off pyscho-pathic guards and inmates, rape, murder and the overall lack of nutrition and health prisoners are inflicted with is astronomical. The cowardice of Western society and it's one life doctrine has actually encouraged this cruel way of sentencing persons guilty or innocent to time prison is insane. But as long as cowards can hold unto life no matter how miserable and irreversible they will justify it with a mystery God religion or God redeems. This sort of parallels how this country wastes billions of healthcare dollars keeping alive people whom no chance of living with their disease. It's points to a society that is retarded and although they say they believe in Heaven or the afterlife they are fighting in fear to keep from leaving this world in their lack of faith. This is why I accepted Buddhism and Ancient religion like Yoruba as opposed to Christianity, Islam and Hebrewism whom on one hypocritical hand teaches about Heaven and souls and then says you only get one life to get this right. The immortality of spiritual is that we are never born and we never die and therefore physical death has no sting. The lesson of a warrior dies but once and a coward dies a 1000 times is reference to this universal law that we can never die. Cowards whom turn traitors try to avoid the pain of death inflict their bretheren and others with betrayal just to hold unto a temporal life.
I don't support the crimes of the D.C Snipers and the innocent taking of life in an undeclared war I want to make this clear. I think what they did was entirely wrong but their crimes are small in comparison to the darkness that fills this world. I believe meditation that rids the mind of senseless thoughts and empties them out is the best solution for overcoming cowardice acts and cowardice in general. We are not thoughts and thoughts are products of this temporal world and we are so concerned with this world which will soon fade that we neglect to work on our spirits. It is generally accepted that spirit has no body so therefore no feeling of pleasure or pain that since our thoughts are derived from sensory sources all thoughts are products not of spirit. Meditation which is the act of ridding our mind of thoughts is the only true way to strengthen our spirit and make us completely free of the pull of this world. And although the acts of the D.C snipers are heinous they are only so because we make them out to be. All sins are deviants of spirit and lead down the path of darkness so not one is greater than the other. We must engage in true practices that teach everlasting eternal life that is the essence of spirit.
Now there's a question: do we have free choice or is this an illusion and the Supreme Diety makes our decisions for us. Books and philosophcial discourses have been written on this issue for thousands of years. And we're still debating it.
I would like to support the point that John makes about the value and purpose of meditation. It does have a powerful effect on the mind, heart and spirit that cannot be measured or even understood. There is a two-thousand year old tradition of meditation in all the major religions, including Hinduism (Vedanta), Buddhism, Islam (the Sufis) and Christianity (the mystics). The one thing common to all traditions is that the practice is nonverbal, non- conceptual and is based on interior silence that leads to a deep peace. It is the one place where all these great religions can find total agreement.
So, John, I want to say thank you for adding this spiritual dimension to the conversation.
