Ignorance My Bliss

I know nothing of where the wild geese go other than been told by those with loftier eye I know little of where the natural streams flow if not for those who have thought to journey and try I cannot say, whether heaven nor hell, my loved ones passed are yet silent. Content not to know till after I go, if the knowing remain respectfully compliant.

We do not know many things related to life and death. They remain mysteries. It is better not to pry into things which we cannot understand and comply with the words of God and the teachings of the wise. However I believe that there is a life after death and the good ones will be rewarded and the wicked ones will be punished. A beautiful poem inviting rumination.

I can say nothing with total certainty...but sort of like what you believe -- punishment far greater than any fires, for me, would be estrangement from God. Blessings my friend.

Regarding the dead, I believe what Jesus believed - John 11:14,24,25. Nice poem Joe

I agree. Would be worse to see a list of those who went to hell. We know God is good, and that is good enough. He knows we hurt for family and friend, even strangers. We don’t know. We just obey God who gave us breath in our lungs and a heart to beat. Bless you, dear one!

For sure. God is good. If I can forgive, how greater is God's heart!?
