I think this is terrific. It's a song called "Dead dead dead" from the makers of South Park. The children's voices singing are so Christmassy. =-] Be careful, it can get stuck in your head. Dark humor aside, it does remind me to live in the moment.

No wonder I have such a difficult time with the concept of spirituality and religion.

This is why meditation is so difficult. Our minds are too big and too busy and think that they are the boss! But they aren't because we die.

Many people claim they would be that way, but the moment they perceived a threat to themselves or a loved one, they would fight to protect them. It's in our blood. Everything is linked to survival, whether or not we want to admit it.
