Atheists are miserable.

Well, you want to contribute to something other than yourself. That is a start.
I do not worry about being remembered. Were all the people who have died our war for independence known by their names?
No, they have been known by their collective deeds.
We eat the fruits of their sacrifice. This is sometimes enough. It certainly is enough for me.

My way is clear, like the words of Nihal Atsız:
"We've looked at the map, where our people lived, we've read about those who have done evil to our kin in history, and we have written this national hatred into our hearts with stamps of fire."

Your quote horrifies me. No one should be fueled by hate.

I'm contributing FOR myself. Except for my family, then I'm raising good children with my lover so that they'll be happy. And I don't know how I'd feel about being remembered for the collective deeds of America, like Turkey, we have have some pretty horrible offenses in our history.
