[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't like the idea of death, but I accept it, as a part of the great good luck of being born in the first place. I certainly prefer accepting the reality of life and death to the fantasy I was taught to believe as a child of everlasting life, as long as I followed the rules of an invisible god who was both loving and incredibly cruel. I understand that some people are wired to feel that there's something "out there" but many more are forced to believe it and to fear eternal punishment if they don't. What a waste. Life is to be enjoyed.[/quote] This, though I was raised by people who weren't sure about an afterlife. It actually makes me much more focused on making this one life we have as good as it can be for as many people as possible. We only get one shot at existing; why wouldn't we help others, try to reduce suffering, etc.. Death kind of sucks, but without it, life would be totally different. [/quote]
