He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!"(12:27)
We are living by reducing the meaning of the word, ‘living’. We reduced its meaning at the biological level. Of course, the meaning we are living signifies the living of brain and heart. Our cell should divide and stomach should moves and by doing this our metabolic change should be done. By these life phenomena we can confirm the fact of living.
However, has it surely to be done like this? Others we can keep aside but we cannot deny the fact that our life phenomena ends in any moment. When we get sick in the mid way of our life or getting old, our life phenomena is over. The word we are living has meaning in this limitation only. We cannot regard such things as the ultimate one.
I don’t mean to say that the momentary life of today is meaningless. It is more precious for it ends vaguely. We have to live by acknowledging it preciously. We are talking not about the relative one but the absolute. It is because we can confirm the meaning of our tentative and meaningless life phenomena in the absolute life only.
Many problems can be occurred when we regard our minimized life, confirmed in this world, as the absolute one. The measuring interpretation about life is one of them. It blindly pursues high valued life phenomena only after measuring life as numerical value. Under such circumstance, the society becomes the society where the physically challenged people are regarded as the inferior people while the intelligently remarkable people are only accepted greatly.
Life is God’s creation and it cannot be measurable by human being. We cannot treat it as we please or sport with it for we are not a creator but mere creature.
