I question everything, and scrutinize every assumption I make. I want to know the truth, because the truth leads to informed actions which is best for those around me. I don't even care about myself anymore, but I care about those that my actions affect.
I could turn to the bottle or drugs; it's amazing that I haven't and I am proud of myself. I am extremely frequently finding all different forms of escapism, but I'm always very aware of what is real and what I'm fantasizing. What I want to be true is irrelevant; in fact, I've come to see adult life being a matter of coming to terms with how things are and making the best of it.
I don't even know what point I'm making anymore. Anyhow, the idea of "souls" does not even slightly hold up to any sort of scrutiny, neither do "afterlives". They're not even coherent concepts. I can totally understand some people being unable to cope with the idea of these things not being real, although it's my opinion that this dependence is imposed on children along with these ideas, when the mind is vulnerable. I've never been made these promises, so I didn't have them to lose. Ironically, I wouldn't want them now, even if they were offered. God has jaded me that much with his casual sadism.
