So, "do not go gentle into that good night." I don't think that death, suffering, and human existence have any intrinsic moral or rational meaning. Please clarify something: Why did you lump human existence in with death and suffering?

<I don't think that [death, suffering, and] human existence have any intrinsic moral or rational meaning. Jesus said to follow your heart, not you intellect... one could also note that 'morality' is reported by the mystics to come as a natural outgrowth of transcending the ego and not really a list of rules to follow {unlike teachings by organized religions}. This type of verbage is found in Jesus teachings as well: "All you need is these 2 'great' commandments" Somehow {The council of Nicea} the wisdom of the Roman Catholic church evaporated in a mere 300 years and they brought the old testiment back into the church despite this obvious teaching of Jesus. <I Rebel against Death, therefore I genuinely exist.> Why not chose existance? I find chosing the positive always seems to be accompanied by better emotional state {a higher level of conciousness} than chosing to be against something. DAK
