Think of all the amazing things that bring joy to your life. And realize how rare it is that get to enjoy all that. Make the most of it. Help others experience it.

We live longer than many things on the earth. That is a life experience right there. Just because I don't believe in divinity, doesn't mean there isn't a next "stage" in our "lives" after death. We don't know. That's the point: To move forward on this earth to learn what "life" means in the scheme of things.

I do believe energy can not be created or destroyed so, who knows?
