How do you find meaning as an atheist?

[dj-hato]

its simple really
i live for a finite time and the rest moves on long after i pass and i wish to make this world a better place for my children and there children
that is also the reason why i choose to start my education as a biology teacher
its is my hope that i can inspire the next generation to join the ranks in the great minds of the future or just make them curious enough to pursue a career in academics

my limited time on this planet my singular existence is what drives me
if i believed my after life i would focus on how I live my life so that i pass on to eternity
but i don`t want just for me to have a good life because i just inhabit this tiny blink of existence in this grand time scale of the cosmos
and that cosmos , this planet with all its people moves on where i have long passed
it would be egocentric to make just my blink better when i can start a ripple of inspiration in the ocean of time and space that could help the population in a whole

and that is my meaning without god
