Why are we born if we have to die?”

Q: Once a child ask a friend of mine:“Why are we born if we have to die?”
Please give me your thoughts in this.
Love,Paulo


A: "Imagine a person sitting in a train station.A train comes, stays at the station for some minutes and then leaves.That person would not say that the train was born and died. That person would think that the train is making a journey and that it is necessary that this station exists in order to the train to continue its track.That is our life, it is an station in our track.Birth and death are mental concepts that humans have developed in their need to have everything defined and under control. Wild animals know about death, but they don´t bother about how much time is left, they live the moment.Thus, we are not born and we don´t die, we just come and go, like the train, like the waves…"
