put on a slow, dumb show for you
and crack you up
so you can put a blue ribbon on my brain
god I'm very, very frightening

    I believe it is, and I am!
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    That's awesome, and I agree, but do you think it'll sustain forever?

    you been reading my posts?

    This question, your main question, is the reason why I have been sort of questioning religion.

    Alot of relgious folks seem to believe that their life on earth, their natural life, should be spent worrying about not sinning and being a good person in order to get into heaven.

    My question reguarding that is, "what if this is all there is". Same question you are asking,

    The way many religious people live their lives seems to me to be not wise. All we have is now. This moment. The now.

    i dont understand the whole mentality, of "lets bet, or wager, and hope that maybe when we die we get to go to heaven".

    I mean, would I love, when I die, to be reunited with loved ones, friends, pets and others who died before me, and to get to spend eternity with them? Sure.

    But we have no idea if that is what really happens.

    If it does, that would be wonderful. But to spend your entire mortal life so sure of that fact, and worrying about what god thinks of you and if you are a good person, seems kind of like the biggest wager or bet anyone has ever made

    I was at a very catholic funeral yesterday and as an atheist observer...I realized something. It is too hard for people to put their loved ones in the ground, cover them with dirt and walk away...they need to think that there is something else out there for them . I do not share this belief...but, I think that it is something that some people need in order to let go of pain and guilt.


    If I knew where it was I would take you there. There's much more than this

    No, I am not familiar with your post. Personally, I'm not very religious..I believe as long as people live and try to do their best, all is well..and all will work out..

    now is all we got, can't count on tomorrow.

    one can just hope things get better, and try to appreciate the light despite the darkness that surrounds you. at least that's what i've been telling myself.

    most days i manage to convince myself of it lol

    appreciating the good things, even small things, is what's keeping me from losing my fucking mind lately.

    That's true, but the industry is run by incompetent bean counters, which is probably true of many industries.

    I'd like to think that when we cast off the physical element of ourselves, the metaphysical remains and is set free of the constraints of the body. We continue, but not in any way that we can perceive. It's a bit too final to think that we just wink out of existence and that's it.

  • libragirllibragirl Posts: 4,632
    I think it all depends on an individual's personal outlook and how things are around them. Personally, I always hope it's gonna get better, but the realist part of me says it may stay the same. There is always the tug of war.
    These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.

    If this is all there is, I'd be content... I have a great family and am lucky to have a good life.

    If there is something more and better, than it's all gravy.

    i believe it was socrates that said - i am paraphrasing of course ;) - that if this is it, and death is just eternal sleep....how wonderful that would be b/c to sleep is wonderful. and, if there IS more than this, how wonderful that would be, since to have an eternal afterlife and heaven would be wonderful to follow this life.



    so yea, basically saying, either way....it's all good. 8-)
    i wholeheartedly agree.
    Stay with me...

    I am myself like you somehow
