journal- Nature in life cycle

Personally, I do not see much correlation between nature and the life cycle. This is most likely because I am a Christian. I believe my life cycle has little to do with nature, and much to do with God. One key component to the life cycle is death. Although death is a natural thing, it does not have much to do with nature other than that it is human nature for us to die, and that after we die we are buried in the ground, where we turn to dust. There is not much nature involved in dying. Although dying is a physical thing, it is very much so more than that. Dying is a spiritual thing. I say that because your soul is involved. Even though you are buried, lifeless in the ground when you are dead, your soul has to go somewhere. I believe that the somewhere that your soul goes is either Heaven of Hell. Many people may disagree with that opinion, but really, you have to believe that your soul goes somewhere. If you think about it, nobody believes that after you die, that is the end of things. It is almost unfathomable to think that when you die you are done forever. That is was thousands upon thousands of generations of people have debated and discussed life after death. Nobody can possibly imagine your soul not living elsewhere once we are dead. That belief is not something of human nature. I also believe that nature has little to do with being born and with life after birth and until death. Yes, it exists, but it seems of little importance to me.

I think that the people who must rely on nature as the answer to life's daunting questions are the ones who have nothing else to believe in. If you have a strong belief, then nature just exists, and hardly seems relevant. To someone who is a Christian, in the grand scheme of things, nature is utterly unimportant. But to someone who doesn't know what they believe, nature is one thing that is solid and constant for them to rely upon.
