Oh my gosh!
And try to forget some things like a real old man.
Gotta have to practice how to die?
Breathing heavily and sleeping 2 hours a day?
And speaking softly without any anger.

I don't have to try to forget things - I've got so many thoughts in my head that I regularly forget stuff, and have for decades! :P
Yeah.
I guess most things we forgot are those not quite important.
The more we get older the more our memory decline, why is that?
Biological decline, at least, plus some diseases, poor nutrition, lack of a variety of activities to stimulate different parts of the brain. And genetics plays a part.
Oh yeah.
But death is always certain whether we like it or not it will come.
But only the physical aspect, the energy or spirit or soul is always there forever right?
I could not tell you the answer to that. If I have died (i.e. I'm reincarnated), I have no memory of it. If this is my first life, I haven't died yet, so I don't have that knowledge. ;)
I also have no concrete or full knowledge about these stuffs.
All I have is faith that there is something out there that is eternity. So, I gotta workout that faith to reach that.
Here's a question for you:
If I told you that I have faith that fairies, dragons and magic are real, what would you say?
Most people who are still grounded on Earth (i.e. not delusional) would say that I am crazy. Some, trying to reason with me, would ask me to provide proof so that they could say it's not real.
If I told you my faith led me to believe in Sasquatch/Big Foot, Yeti/Abominable Snowman, Nessy (Loch Ness Monster), and gremlins, you'd have a similar reaction.
If I stated that my faith proved that Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the Easter Bunny and Jack Frost are real, would you react differently? Probably not, even if I showed you the myriad of books and other media that reference them, sometimes including lifelike photos and video.
If I argued day and night, year after year, I would probably be committed to a crazy house. My faith in these mythical creatures would be equated with insanity or perhaps addiction to certain drugs, and I would be treated accordingly.
One further example:
I tell you that my faith insists that ALL people are good. I teach that everyone can be reasoned with to employ their better nature. Given the presence of psychopaths, serial killers and people with other dangerous mental illnesses, is it realistic to believe this? I think not.
What does this tell us about the reliability and the fallibility of faith. As a measure of the probability of truth, how good is it?
When belief is what is required, in the absence of definitive proof, this is faith.
This begs the question: if all these creatures we may have been taught are real are not real, then what of the stories of a divine being?
This does not mean that I do NOT believe in the Creator, btw.
