Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow ...........
Some people say tomorrow never comes and if we consider eternity exists, then tomorrow never comes because there will always be a tomorrow....so why eat, drink and be merry? One reason could be that we should enjoy each day----life is for living after all! So does this mean that we will never die? Clearly in one sense, this question has an obvious answer------we all know that!!! doh........but recognising that we are made of:
body-----which is perishable and corruptible....ashes to ashes
soul------the seat of our emotions &
spirit-----that which has a beginning and no end
then there is part of us that will live for ever and never die.
I guess we should learn to count/number our days, because whilst this life is transient, a key decision that we make in the body will determine where our spirit will live on in the eternity where every tomorrow will always be a today. But isn't that the case now? I'm getting confused writing this but then doesn't your mind boggle when you consider eternity?
So I guess I am trying to say-------enjoy life--make the right decision about where you will spend eternity---and then you can be truly happy (merry) eating and drinking because you know your eternity is secured.
That's what it is all about!
