[b]well um...(i am buddhist) i feel really curious about this world. who created this world? everyone who is around me, tells me that the God created the world. but i am not criticizing Christianity and Catholic, but.... i wonder if there's a god or not.... no one really knows about this world. the humans, like us, we think that we know many things, but we don't. for example, um this is kinda wierd, but 3 years ago, about at 12 pm, my dad could have been into a car accident, but he was safe. my mom, she was jogging at that time, thinking about my grandpa. Me, i was at school, but about at 12 pm, i had a serious nosebleed, so i had to go to the nurse, which lasted about 15 mins. but later, i found out that....my grandpa past away at 12 pm. which is really scary, and this shows that all the happenings were related to my grandpa's death. who will going explain this?
hm.... i am also curious about who i am... i mean, who i am right now, and who i was in the past, and who i will be in the future...i mean the after life.
its really wierd....to live in this world and sometimes, i think, 'am i alive? the things that i see right now by my eyes, are they real? what does it mean by real? what does it mean by alive? who created these words? and...why do people think that they are ALIVE when they dont know...what that really means?'
i always ask myself...the same question over and over again..i wonder how the world was created, and why eveything are related to one another...
I look at your question of your Grandfather's passing this way. I believe that those of us with strong family bonds, know instinctively when one member is suffering. I call this instinct, in humans, a spirit. Animals have instincts too. Animals would prefer to avoid human contact in the wild. They instinctively know we are predators, or at the very least, not one of them. Hunters will tell you that humans put off an odor that animals don't like. Fishermen mask there "scent" too.
I hope this has helped, a little because I believe we all have questions of a philosophical nature because no one knows for sure where our spirit goes when it leaves our bodies at death.
I know from personal experience that when my mother was still alive her home felt peaceful. After she died her home immediately felt empty, like I was inside a vacant house for sale. In others words, I believe her spirit knew where it was going and left. When this happened, the 'atmosphere' in her home changed from a warm happy place to a cold, plain, empty place.
The man who seeks answers will only find more questions.
I too wonder at the coincidences that occur to us in every day life and how they may be connected in one way or another.
Peace is known only to the dead.
My uncle died a few years back, leaving behind my aunt and two cousins, ever since he died I always expect him to come back, it's a strange feeling and I have yet to shake it. I doubt as long as my aunt lives I never will shake it. I have no answers, only quotes and questions.
May he know what he does before he regrets all choices.
my mom, she was jogging at that time, thinking about my grandpa. Me, i was at school, but about at 12 pm, i had a serious nosebleed, so i had to go to the nurse, which lasted about 15 mins. but later, i found out that....my grandpa past away at 12 pm. which is really scary, and this shows that all the happenings were related to my grandpa's death. who will going explain this?
On 9/11 I woke up, at the same time my uncle was knocking on the door, We both lived within a 10 minute drive from the flight school the terrorists learned the basics to fly the planes, the weather that day also seemed to be about 80 degrees, clearly there is a connection between all of this.
I'm sorry for the lose of your grandfather but the connection is dubious.
i am also curious about who i am... i mean, who i am right now, and who i was in the past, and who i will be in the future...i mean the after life.
Not sure how the particular arrangement of particles that make you, you were arrange before. In the future they will be likely arrange in a dust like configuration. Given there were less life forms in the past this would raise the question on what all those souls (if a soul exists) were doing all this time. Since we have no evidence of a soul or after life, I'm just going to say after you die your soul will swim around in a big bowl of lime jello for eternity. (why not?)
'am i alive? the things that i see right now by my eyes, are they real? what does it mean by real? what does it mean by alive? who created these words? and...why do people think that they are ALIVE when they dont know...what that really means?'
We base all this on observation. Yes we could just be brains in jars, but do we really have anything to indicate this? The very fact you are asking these question indicates to yourself that you are self aware.
i always ask myself...the same question over and over again..i wonder how the world was created, and why eveything are related to one another...
After our star formed there was enough material left over that could begin to clump together. The material formed a number of small spheroidal clumps which then began to smack into each other breaking them apart and reforming them into larger spheroids known as planets. over time the clutter around the star began to clear through this process and the orbits of these surviving planets became stable. One of these planets was the one we live on.
All those questions and more, you'll have to answer yourself. Everybody has similar experiences in life, but overall, it's different across the board. Keep your eyes open and desire answers - they will eventually be given.
Seeing as how Mage answered almost all of your questions, I'll add to his:
who created these words?
I'm going to assume you mean languages. Creating one is difficult if you think about it. How they form takes thousands of years. I really don't think it's like a council of humans got together and started making up words. For one, they wouldn't understand what they were naming off in the first place! The base structure of a language was actually by means of interaction; you spot something and you go "DOOGA!" Generations upon generations, these people understood and learned the various words to build upon their own language, and then pieced together the hardest words to understand (is: the current state of) to create sentences (The dooga is stinky). It just takes thousands of years to have languages formed.

It is unlikely that there is a god, as no proof has presented itself. It is even more unlikely that it was any god written by human, as they disobey many scientific and logic laws.
As for the second part, it is unlikely to be more then a coincidence, as all of those happening are semi-common. My great grandma died a few days ago, and nothing happened to any of my family, and since science is repeatable my experience would prove yours false.
i am also curious about who i am... i mean, who i am right now, and who i was in the past, and who i will be in the future...i mean the after life.
You are who you were and you are who you are, and you will be who you are. With a less weird answer, you are you and always will be, always have been, unless you become a cyborg or move your brain into a clone. Then your different. There is no afterlife, as what would continue? The chemicals in your brain stop when you die, thus you stop thinking. You can't continue on without thinking. You basically just rot in the ground without knowing it.
i always ask myself...the same question over and over again..i wonder how the world was created, and why eveything are related to one another...
The world was created by stars releasing chemicals witch were made by a huge expansion of near infinite matter, known as be Big Bang.
Nothing is connected on any level rather than "It works". For example, the food chain. If every species on it was a producer, then there would be an overabundance and competition making being a producer ineffective do to getting lack of sunlight. Consumers overpopulating lowers the producer population, eventual leading to starvation. Thus the top of the food chain consumers eat the other consumers, if there were to many of them then the other consumers would die.
Then there is survival of the fittest, so the less effective would be wiped out leaving the food chain.
'am i alive? the things that i see right now by my eyes, are they real? what does it mean by real? what does it mean by alive? who created these words? and...why do people think that they are ALIVE when they dont know...what that really means?'
I assume you meat every criteria of being alive, so I assume you are. The things you see can be observed thus can be easily expected to be real. Look in the dictionary for the two definitions. If you can think your alive it is likely that your alive, so I would think they should know.
I'm surprised. I thought as a Buddhist, you would understand that life is an endless cycle of life, death, and suffering. Depending on which sect of Buddhism you follow, I'm most familiar with a Hindu version of Buddhism, but according to them, there is no such thing is time. All is one, and that everything is intertwined. It doesn't matter who or what you were or going to be, but once you discover your own awakening, you'll apparently be enlightened and escape the endless cycle of rebirth and find peace.
But then again, if your a Buddhist, you should seek your own path to enlightenment.
I'm sorry for your lost. I hope you find peace with yourself.
You can interpret what happened in many ways it just depends on your personal belief. It could have all been connected, it could have been a sign, it could have been chance. No one can tell you what to believe you have to find it yourself.
You can do what Darkhand said. What I have figured out, is that some questions just cannot be answered by the human mind at this time. So, some questions, if you think about it right, are just as good for a person as the answers.
