Purgatory

According to the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church, Purgatory is the "final purification of the elect": "All who die in God's grace and friendship, but still imperfectly purified, are indeed assured of their eternal salvation; but after death they undergo purification, so as to achieve the holiness necessary to enter the joy of heaven."

An interesting philosophy that can be paralleled to our world. Is this life purgatory? If you believe in eternal salvation, aka, molksha, nirvana, and reincarnation; isn't it all purgatory? We live our lives reacting to what obstacles come our way and we always hope for the future and take the future for granted.

It's like the Matrix or any of these other movies that deal with false realities and alternate universes. What's real and what isn't? I hate to turn all existential as if I'm some high school kid just learning about philosophy and trying to show my new bran power, but I get that surreal feeling about life all the time. It's like I see things happen right in front of me and I don't they seem so out of the norm. And I think why is this happening. It's almost like a TV show or a movie. Now I'm rambling and I haven't said anything poignant. My bad.

Anyways, enjoy your purgatory as I will mine.
