If Heaven exists, I feel confident that a large sect of souls living there are preaching that there's still one more life to go... right now, they're ranting on a golden street corner... "One day, this will all come to end -- you'll see! And those who have enjoyed themselves in Heaven will be punished! They will burn in the even-more-eternal flames of Heavell!" The After-Afterlife. Mark my words. Josh
Yo Josh, Yup, on and on, the next step has to be better ... the next step has to be better (etc.) ... hope and faith of better things seems to always belong in the future. How about affecting hope via action in the present moment where we have so much more control. Why does human nature seem so uncomfortable with itself that we constantly look for something beyond our present experience? Why do lizards not have a "Full Gospel Church of the Lizard God"? (maybe they do) What sets us apart? Is it not maybe that we persistantly deny ourselves our natural urges and instincts? Maybe we should just let it be ... Allcare.
Well, to quote my avatar lord once again: "They say children are our future? There is no future. It doesn't exist. Stop waiting for something that will never come. Take mushrooms and squeegie your third fucking eye! 'Oh my God, there is only this moment!'" Here's an idea. Why don't you love the people who are already fucking here?" Also, I think A. Whitney Brown said something to the effect of, "Living life via the hope of Heaven is like keeping your eyes shut during the movie in the hopes that you will get your money back at the end." I'm a bit frightened that only comedians have the balls to point this out. Peace. Josh
Testes, testes ... one, two ... three? Technically, they're not the only ones. But most of the rest are written off as bitter, socialist, utopian, atheist, melodramatic, immature, or otherwise. You'll notice that not all of those conditions are necessarily bad, but people choose to treat them as such on those occasions. Comedians, however, are paid to be melodramatic, immature, bitter utopians. Four out of six equals two out of three and Meatloaf says that ain't bad. So instead of being exclusively insulted for being comedians, some of them actually get paid to do it, too.
God isnt necessary for there to be 'meaning', you make your own meaning for life, the meaning of your existance is whatever you want to make it. The meaning of my life is to enjoy it because there may not be another.
"If you tell the truth, remember to make them laugh or the people will kill you." --George Bernard Shaw Josh
