What’s the point of people living and dying?
Is it to prod them to seek an afterlife paradise,
and failing that prodding sent to a hell?

Is it a one shot deal, done and dead, with the hope
of heaven or a hopeless, eternal damnation?

Or do they keep coming back on the wheel of
transmigration until they spiritually evolve enough
to attain an eternal bliss consciousness?

Or is it all a pointless drama with the ending
of people into the grave and nothingness,
an obliteration of what they had been?

Bob Boyd
