REBIRTH
AFTER REBIRTH NO CONCERN
One may come in one way and leave another way; or the same.
This is true for entering a car or building: but is it true for life?
One may not again enter into its mother's womb, as Jesus answered Nicodemus, to be born again; but one may indeed be reborn of water and spirit; water to wash; spirit to ignite. But why worry about matters beyond our ken, care, or concern?
After rebirth why be concerned?
Since we all were sent here from a place that we do not know. And since we all only found out that we were here, subsequent to birth; and since we do not know where we are going, if anywhere, after we leave this life on Earth, would not it be more propitious that we concern ourselves with that which we do now know, instead of the unknown?
I'm just asking. Especially since, even if we knew answers to any of the above, we would be unable to do anything about it in the least!
