It’s sad how the years go by and we get older then soon

“We are going to die, and that makes us the lucky ones. Most people are never going to die because they are never going to be born. The potential people who could have been here in my place but who will in fact never see the light of day outnumber the sand grains of Arabia. Certainly those unborn ghosts include greater poets than Keats, scientists greater than Newton. We know this because the set of possible people allowed by our DNA so massively exceeds the set of actual people. In the teeth of these stupefying odds it is you and I, in our ordinariness, that are here.We privileged few, who won the lottery of birth against all odds, how dare we whine at our inevitable return to that prior state from which the vast majority have never stirred?”

― Richard Dawkins, Unweaving the Rainbow: Science, Delusion and the Appetite for Wonder

I have an odd pov I think.
I used to wanna give my life to God, then I went through things that changed everything about how I think. I learned not to trust mans word. & Imo.. religion & everything in it is all man's word. Maybe God did speak through them.. I truly don't know. But I choose not to put my faith in anybody telling me how to live & instead choose to believe in being a good person. Because if there is a god out there & he's good like they say, how could I have ever been wrong by simply being a good person?

I do pray at times & I treat it like a regular conversation just to talk... because I don't know who I'm talking to. Maybe it's a woman, maybe a man, maybe an it. Or maybe there's 20. But I hope

& The way I see death is a whole other story. But I've faced it many times & I don't fear it anymore. What I fear is not living my life before that happens

Yes death is a reality and so is heaven for those who have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Saviour.

Yes life goes fast ,I think of this poem.

When as a child I laughed and wept, time crept
When as a boy I laughed and joked time walked
When I became a man time ran
Later as I older grew time flew
And soon eternity begun time gone!!

I envy that belief in people, that they think it'll all be worth it in the end, that they think there is a special place awaiting them. I cannot simply just believe in such fantasies. So death is a scary concept I don't like to dwell on

Believing Jesus is LORD makes death much easier AND deals with the problem of our sins totally..

I figure by the time you see that blinking light in the corner of your eye, you're probably well and ready to go. I don't think it's a letting go so much a 'get me out of here.'

I don't think sin exists, whatever brings you enlightenment and serenity is what works for you.

yeah my life is always better when i pray regularly but i make half done prayers so I simply don't when im depressed which makes everything seem like a simulation, which i think is a punishment in itself lol

Psalms is a great go to place for peace🕊️💙

Just not often enough do I open it or the book itself anymore.Sigh.😵

just saying.., (hugs)

You have my envy on a colossal scale, I only wish I could suspend reality in my mind as much.

The concept of any man-made religion on our planet earth is absurd in literally every single instance.
