What I miss at one's demise? (contd)

I'm writing this while I'm waiting outside of the Intensive Care Unit. I saw 2-women crying for the beloved. Both get tired faster after some time & stops crying. One was fully normal after the initial burst of emotions & whereas the other continued to cry remembering something deep. Why does human mourn so much?

In my previous post, I'd narrated a perspective of being in a moment & but there is an interesting perspective about wholeness which helps us to see why being in the moment is important. Imagine that we are seeing a beautiful phone or chair. We do enjoy the sight of the beautiful phone or chair like we enjoy a beautiful sky but soon we feel to own the same! The thought may be occurring because we feel separated from the beautiful object/subject. The moment division (or separation) of the observed vs. observer occurs that is when the conflict arises. But if we view the world as a whole including us & the beautiful phone or chair or sky is part of us there isn't any urge to own them & we cherish the moment.

It isn't bad at all to cry but why to cry? Those 2-women crying, I can feel the part of "my whole". Yes, it is possible to feel that way & not in any weird way. Yes, the memory, thoughts, relations all make us cry or mourn in the demise but our body is designed to endure the highest of the pain. The endurance didn't come over a few decades but evolved over billions of years. So any sorrow or misery which we cause to ourselves due to our thoughts is fairly manageable & a lot is self-inflicted.

If one had spent the time with beloved experiencing each of the moments & doesn't separate yourselves from the rest of the world gave a new perspective!

A perspective isn't a formula, just by looking through that perspective will give an experience. A single experience won't be full & final!
