We got one shot at life for sure, right? We haven’t conclusively proven anything beyond that, but for that one shot, I say the secret is knowing yourself.
What am I willing to do at any cost? And by the same measure—what am I NOT willing to pass up no matter what? (And, of course, all the stuff in between).
I wonder if atheists treat life with more reverence because we know this is all there is? Personally, I believe in making the most of whatever talent is in my genes and living my beliefs. I know that sounds a bit odd, coming from an atheist, but every tenet of my ‘faith’ has been questioned with a blow torch. What’s left is what I truly believe in. If I can’t live by those beliefs then what has this brief spark of life been for?
Well who’s to say who’s right, the atheists or their opposites? Who’s to say that this IS all there is or that the Universe wasn’t created a second ago with all evidence of a past fully intact? But yes, I agree with you in that the attitude that each moment is precious will facilitate a more fulfilling and beautifully lived life. 😉
