Why worry?

***

Some people ask “If we reject God then what do we have left?”, “Isn’t human too lonely in this vast universe if in deed there is nobody to rely on?”, “Isn’t this life so meaningless because it has no purpose?”, “Isn’t it so desperate and terrifying that each of us will all die one day and disappear entirely without a trace?”

I can only say that I believe human doesn’t need the concept “God” once we can recognise our own spiritual strength in this life and this universe. Instead of wasting mental and intellectual energy in trying to follow those misguided religious illusions, our time and effort could be used more productively in developing our own personal Self.

I won’t explain the meaning and purpose of life here. It is because I don’t have enough knowledge to do that. It is because only each person would be able to search and find the meaning and purpose of their own life. I can only say that I believe morality is always here around us and within each of us. We therefore do not need to rely on those imperfect religious doctrines to obtain and maintain a life of morality.

I do not know what would happen after death either. I only know that nobody on this earth can actually know what happens after death until they themselves are already dead (with the big assumption that they still retain their cognitive power after death). I believe that nobody can control or change what happens to them after death (with the big assumption that something still happens after their death).

In my opinion, why would we need to be so worried that we have to invent those far-from-perfect explanations just to pacify our own fears?
