/seneca   The Parable of the Main Question

That day, as if on purpose, every visitor asked the teacher only one, the most important question: "What will happen after death?"
The teacher only smiled and did not answer.
Afterwards, the students asked why he kept evading the answer.
"Have you noticed that those who do not know what to do with this life are interested in the afterlife? They need another life that would last forever," the Teacher answered.
"And yet, is there life after death or not?" one of the students persisted.
"Is there life before death, that is the question," the Teacher noted.

This post is in English. The parable reminds us to focus on living fully in the present moment rather than worrying about what happens after death.
