when are we dead D8

I had no thoughts to pen down today. I was taking an break and slept, but sleep didn't last long. Here I was thoughtless to wondering on theme to cover.

 I started thinking, when are we dead, are we dead when we have no thoughts,or when we are aimless, or when are physically weak to not being able to do much, except stay alive for some more time, or do we die when pronounced dead by the world. 

Or we are die and live everyday, we die a bit and live a bit, till we end this cycle. Or are we born again or exist as soul after we pass away. And if there is life after that, afterlife, rebirth, or no life but hell or heaven. Most importantly, how much should all this shape our life today. And if it doesn't shape our life today, why do we pray, do we pray to get benefits in everyday life or post the metaphysical existence. Just we do it for social obligation, or to get strength, or its something we can can't questions and think about and leave it to religion. And religion is supposed to have answers, and faith is important to believe in them, isn't it the end.

And if its all not important, why we are obsessed with unreasonable demands of people whose life are driven by these questions and shape the reality we live in. Therefore, does choosing away from these beleive is rational living or rationalising these the belief system is rational. Or a much mordern topic, what happens when these become irrelevant to one, does one become, secular, liberal, agnostic, atheist or spiritual. Or just renegade, infidel, adharmic, kafir or insolent. 

And if you got yourself to stage of being part of latter section of last para, what happens to your internal and external journey. Why some people still keep themselves within the mega cultural structure of religions, even when they have personally become non-believer.

I think answer lies somewhere in the range of fear, being left alone, social pressure, peer pressure, no support structure, under confidence to fight it all alone, conditioning of mind, sometimes mere intimidation, love, etc. 

Yes it's all relevant to when we are dead, as once you are really dead, and you haven't taken your own path, religious will over and count you as of their own. God might fail thousands or more times in one's life to be miraculous however in death, when everyone and everything leaves, it is almighty, just the supreme self that remains. Isn't is wonderful to relfect, however you take him, either like irrelevant statue/scripture, or benevolent or malevolent friend, only time, it's promised that the said divine power will take care, it's when you are dead.

Or we always are dead, faithearted to fight our deamons within and outside us.

Are we dead when we die, or when are brought up and brainwashed, to ensure we die peacefully with deamons of our making.

Do not dead enough.
