Love your quote above your avatar "I prefure the harsh truth over a comforting lie"
Accepting reality does not make the atheist a pessimist or evil. It merely means we don't need to make up stories to explain either the good or bad that happen in reality.
Thank you for that quote, glad I read it.

Thank you. I really love Freud's Civilization and Its Discontents. Admitting there's nothing beyond this life can be overwhelming, but I think it's better than deluding yourself. I'd rather fully enjoy what I DO have rather than suck it up and simply endure in the hopes of some eternal reward. And, as you pointed out, it has worldly implications as well.
