OK. I know why I am here. Since I don't believe in life after death, this is all I get. So I need to make the most of it and be happy. And since I like being happy I like to make others happy too.
But those who believe they are going to another, better, place after death - What gets you out of bed in the mornings?
Are you just waiting for your God to claim you? Or have you been given a purpose which you must fulful?
Do you believe you are 'saved' right now? Or could you do something later in life that could cause you to lose your hereafter? Is that why you continue to strive?
Or is it duty? Love of life? Fear even?
What I'm trying to say is that one could say that, if you know you are destined for a 'better place', then you could sit around and do nothing. Just waiting for the misery to end. (Joke!)
So what drives you please. Oh, and I'd prefer to hear your beliefs rather than be told what they are based on. Thanks.
