Why we want to secure our life all the time, when we know we are going to die one day leaving all this?

Question

Instead of thinking on security instead why can’t we think on opportunity? As opportunities are the one’s which makes you lead life happily.

Answer 1

good point,

a life without challenge is meaningless,

Answer 2

because life is the name of a way on which we have to go on and not stop in the middle thinking that one day we'll reach our destination and then the way will come to an end and we'll have to stop so why not stop here only!

Answer 3

good qns.. i guess we humans get all too focused on the material life that we forget we are gona die....  

Answer 4

Courage can't be taught. Unfortunately, fear can be, very easily, and those who depend on the people's desire for security also decide what is and isn't taught.

Answer 5

that's a very good question indeed.

well, i know that i'll die one day, and the God decided that day from my birth time. so i'll die in my time and there's no escape.

according to that look to life and death i can say that there's nothing to fear of about death.

good, but is that mean to not care of our lives (secure) ?absolotly not, we should secure our lives all the time because if we wouldn't do that, it would be kind of scuicide. and this is a crime because the God is the one who gave us our lives and he is the only one who have the right to take it back.

But ...

don't we feel fear of it all the time ? Yes

So...

Why ? Because we always fear of the things we don't know about, these things show us how much we're weak and how much our ignorance is. so we get fear of that thing which is stronger and kind of mystry.

that's why we feel fear of  death and that's why we should rescue our lives.

hope that was helpful.

thanks yahoo

Answer 6

Because we are not leaving to die.

we are leaving to do something in life before we die,Death is certain which no one can change, but to leave with the fact that we gonna die, does make us sad, that is like the person who is hopeless goes for  commit sucide or do bad things.

Opportunities as you said lead life happily, But i say ,opportunities are lots which comes and goes often, success is just combination of your luck and opportunity and not necessary all opportunities lead to happiness.

Nut shell . one should not depend on opportunities to get happy. He should try to be happy anyway.

Life is Beautiful,Get full out of it.

Answer 7

It's true whatever you said

If you want to pray God and get plus points from Him better  ensure .one's life is unsecure with crashes of Airplane, trains , buses and cars as well  large gathering of people

Answer 8

yes. We need to give more than we take from the world.  

Answer 9

Though we KNOW that one day we're going to die, but hard to ACCEPT till it actually happens.

Answer 10

We can make our life as secure as we can and hopefully still see the odd opportunity come our way. I think its only human nature that makes us "feather our nests" so to speak, and have something to leave our children/grand children etc. However, i still agree with your statement, opportunities and challenges are good for us as long as we are prepared to accept them...

Answer 11

Why not think of both? Take the opportunities that offer themselves, but make sure our backsides are well covered, so that we may live to enjoy the fruits of our success.  

Answer 12

“Live your daily life in a way that you never lose yourself. When you are carried away with your worries, fears, cravings, anger, and desire, you run away from yourself and you lose yourself. The practice is always to go back to oneself.”  

Answer 13

I dont know about others sir...but life is more precious than we can conceive and the best security is taking the support of Hari naam as much as we can..otherwise we will continue pursuing pain in the delusion that it is our natural state or tht its happiness

Answer 14

yes its always the main thing which a person need to decide..

SECURITY or RISK

both things have some merits as well as some demerits!

in order to be secure we dont live in our present life .. we always live in our future.

and if we take risks it often like we live in present but dont care so much abt future. sometimes we get enough success in taking risk but at the same time its also dangerous..

but new ideas have to be implemented by taking some risks!!

so it means we should take risk but  at the same time keep some security.

Answer 15

i think its just human nature which makes us feel like securing every thing and as Indian's especially we want to make all the things safe for our future for our kids...its like we don't eat one time and feed our kids better for both the two times...we basically live for the future that we can make our child's future better and brighter...as we think want all we didn't enjoyed, what all we didn't do in our life our kids do that..and stay happy for their lives...

but i think that's going opposite now a days as all those parents who are too much money saver they end up with lots of diseases and their children not thinking what all their parents went through just leave them...and use the money in all the wrong things....

so i think its good if we safe and think of security but we should pay a lot of attention to what all opportunities life gives to us...and should stay happy with what we have...

hope this helps...
