Maybe in the Next Life

“What is the afterlife? Isn't death after life?”
Two days running of The Chemical Buddha’s thoughts on death. TCB often took notice of the cycle of death and renewal in the fall and spring. Both were necessary to maintain balance. Just as sobriety was a necessary evil to being high/drunk. Without one, the other could not exist or wouldn’t be noticed. That’s why he wasn’t sure why people asked him about the afterlife. To him, as far as he knew, death seemed to be what was next in order to maintain balance. And there would be some new rebirth out of that space. Sometimes he believed what all Buddhists believe. Mainly, that we’ll be reborn depending upon our Karma (or past deeds). And sometimes he didn’t. It usually depended if he wanted to be reborn to have another crack at a hot chick who had just shot him down or not.
How do you maintain balance in your life?
Do you recognize when you’re out of balance and are you able to quickly recover?
