I've been accused of blind, bitter skepticism. But I'm told its an "up-beat" form of blind, bitter skepticism -because I think almost anything can be funny. From my own perspective, however, I've learned that nothing is permanent including any aspect of your "self". Because there's no such thing as a soul, and regardless what we would all rather believe, when you or I die, we're not going to learn any great eternal truth. We won't even discover the lies. Instead, we will know, think, understand, remember, dream, -be ...nothing. Everything that was once "us" will be reduced to a few dozen pounds of ape-meat going bad. So live while you can, enjoy it, and help others do the same; because history will be your real judge. Only that will determine your legacy, and this would still be true even if your favorite magic invisible friends weren't only imaginary.Rationalism can be a very liberating perspective! Belief in posthumous rewards devalues life, and letting go of eternity makes the living moment infinitely more precious. Because all you have is while you live, and that's it. If you don’t enjoy your life, you’ll never have a chance to enjoy anything else! And I do enjoy life. I've even discovered that I like the weather no matter what it is. There is a positive aspect to nearly all our experiences. If you can't find something good, at least allow yourself to be impressed. Because sharing the things you love is what will endear you to others. Seriously, nobody gives a damn about what you hate, and you shouldn't either. But, (while we're talking about destroying illusions) there are real people out there who really believe in you, (for whatever reason) and you should be more worried about disappointing them than any weird notions of the mythical beings in your mind whom you may think you have a relationship with.
