this is perhaps one of the deepest misconception ever imagined. what is the opposite of death? ( it is not life ) it is birth. we have been conditioned from the very first egoic thought that life was something we posessed and that it can be taken away, nothing can be further from the truth. life is. before birth, after death and everywhere in-between. there is no opposite to life. we do not have life, life has us. jmho.....................sylvain....................
