that religions sell us, I felt freed from these chains that were someone's way of controlling people.
It was a most freeing and enlightening moment.
The real afterlife comes in the memories you leave in others and the lives you have touched.
Even on this forum I like to think there are many who would care were I to disappear.
No matter who you are you have touch lives someplace and are loved by someone.
Realizing the fantasy after life didn't exist I realized I should and could concentrate on living the best life I could.
For me that means some service to my friends and family. Others no doubt are hedonistic and it means more for themselves.
But for me I felt free to work on helping others.
Your kids, grandkids, other relatives, neighbors townsfolk etc. - give them something to remember you by.
As for me, one thing I do is give blood. I have helped a lot of people. They don't know me. But sometime they will remember that they were saved by a pint of blood some schmoe gave out of the goodness of his heart.
Wish you well in your journey. I am still on may journey as are most of us. tell us how it is going. You may have an insight that could help many of us.
