I don't think humans fully mature until after they die

What comes after this life is the reality behind it all. What we do here and now will be a reflection in that great unknowable future of tomorrow. Why then is it so important for us to focus on death now? That in so doing we may overcome the fear of death by accepting it as a natural order to the way things are. What will be, will be, and will continue to be more than what our minds can consciously grasp, but in our heart holds the promise, the mark of our maker, the dark and the light hidden within. Understanding comes after great suffering, persecution is coming, it is already here, and it should be embraced, for in weakness there is immense strength. The human mind is the first and last great battle of our time, but can we truly say with all our hearts that we know ourselves? Or are we just trying to figure out in all manner of ways, both righteous and evil, just what we are inside and out? Who we were yesterday does not necessarily dictate who we are today, but today in retrospect will dictate what we will become tomorrow, but this is not necessarily the truth, for we as men are not masters of our reality, but who or what we serve in our system of belief will tailor us to an accord. That is where true power is held, when one man's fantasy can become a fundamental reality, but only with the aid of a power on high.
