I dunno that it counts as an epiphany, but I'm just thinking...
If we have a life review when we die, like you hear the NDE people talking about how they went to the "Hall of Records" etc. and looked through every life moment from every perspective and understood it before moving on...
Then what is the point of trying to understand life WHILE we're alive?
What's the point of trying to figure out the meaning behind things that happen to us?
Does it help the process along at the end of our lives when we're looking through our experiences??
I can't imagine it does, because human perspective/perception is so limited.
It seems like trying to find meaning is something innate, seems to come naturally...
Therefore it must be useful somehow.
But if we just sort through it all at the end and finally understand it, then wouldn't it be better to live life only for the sake of having as many experiences as possible and never spend any time actually thinking about them??
I dunno.
