I posed my questions in my last post to a friend who kindly replied. I liked his prospective so I thought I would post it here. A fitting response to my wonderment.
"Speaking of thoughts, I've thought about your questions regarding fear and clinging. I think humans always sort of fear losing things. Maybe because we're mortal and it seems like all things are bound to end in some way or another. That whole idea probably does make us clingy and nervous. It sucks to think that good things might end or never start at all. It sucks that we have to die. It's kinda cool though too. Let me explain... I think it's cool because it helps us to do great things. Knowing we could go anytime makes us eagar to experience with unbridled restraint (at least it should). It helps us to laugh and reinvent ourselves from moment to moment in order to "get the most" out of each day. Sooo, I guess really haven't answered your questions, but I have sort of addressed them in a round about way. :)"
