life, or something like it.
You know, few things make me sadder than the inevitability of death, and my belief that this is it, that there's not after life for the soul and that the body and your time on Earth will be the totality of your existence, just compounds on that. I can't force myself to believe that there's something else afterwards no matter how I look at it. I wish there were. I wish I could believe in a resurrection, or in a life in a peaceful heavenly place. Or hell, just to throw it out there. I wish I could believe. Honestly.
That said, it just makes me value my time here so much, and makes me want to do and feel and see and think and explore and enjoy so much of what's out there. It makes it better, in a way. And I can do that without the restraints of religion and the judgement of those equal to me who believe themselves my superior simply because they can comunicate with the invisible man in the sky.
So, yes. Believe in yourself. Believe in something if you must, but don't turn your life to a man-made organization whose only objective is to tell you how to live your life without requiring much input from you one way or the other.
