Question About Heaven

[brandonmpate]

The knowledge that good triumphs and that justice prevails helps me to rationalise existence as having a positive purpose. In the present that should make me less prone to depression, but I am only human and susceptible to doubts and to lack confidence in that belief. To me it is a central reason for belief, that people directly benefit and are able to live life to the full.

I agree with you definitely. However, non-conditional statements such as good triumphs and justice prevails are quite difficult to accept. As there are times people get away with horrible things, and innocent people get incarcerated for things they haven't done. The only thing I believe in is fate. Not in the sense that what we are to do/become is set at birth, but that each of us is born with a specific purpose and to fulfill that purpose is the key to fulfillment. My philosophy is somewhat 'every little thing, is gonna be alright.' I see everything, regardless of whether or not justice prevails, as what was the best ending or conclusion to a situation. That everything in my life, no matter how big or small will work itself out, and that means that in the present moment I really shouldn't concern myself with what MIGHT happen, or to allow myself to become overwhelmed by emotions. I do see what you mean about being a human with doubts. At times for me, it is really hard to live by my philosophy. This is a newly founded philosophy for me, so perhaps it may get easier to live by as time goes on. I'm not quite sure. I do know that everything working itself out as truth (at least for myself). When in a clear mindset, I feel completely and totally secure in it.

I was on Prozac, it was the most numbing thing in the world. I would never suggest it to anyone.

It was the problems with getting it up, wasn't it? I know that feel, brah.

Haha, no, I was fortunate enough not to experience that. It was my emotions. I felt neither happy or sad. When sad things would happen, and I would normally cry over that situation, I simply felt nothing. I had no motivation as nothing brought me pleasure or had any reason for doing it. I actually became hospitalized for suicide as that was depressing in and of itself. I curse prozac, and I see it as my personal mission to fix the corruption and false research with big pharma.
