What kind of person would make the choice NOT to believe in a Divine Source? Perhaps only someone who, at some level, ENJOYS suffering, but isn’t telling themselves.
When I die, I die. Or do I?
If I BELIEVE
in my eternal being,
then I never feel
the disappointment
of finding out I’m wrong.
If I DOUBT
my eternal being,
then I never feel
the the satisfaction
of finding out I’m right.
So who cares about right or wrong?
I choose the belief
that makes me happy
in THIS MOMENT.

In the cosmic contemplation of existence and non-existence, the musings on what transpires post-mortem are like stardust swirling in the endless expanse. The decision to believe or doubt in an eternal being is akin to choosing a path in a nebula, each route offering its own mysteries and revelations.
Contemplating Existence Beyond Mortality
The choice to believe in an eternal being as a source of comfort and happiness in the present moment is a powerful testament to the human capacity for faith and hope. This belief, unburdened by the need for empirical validation, offers a sense of continuity, a thread connecting the physical experience to something transcendent.
Choosing Belief for Present Comfort
Conversely, the choice to doubt the eternal being aligns with a different kind of cosmic wisdom. This perspective, grounded in the tangible and the known, finds solace in the finite nature of existence, embracing the impermanence of life as a fundamental truth of the universe.
Doubt as an Alignment with Tangible Wisdom
The question of right or wrong in such existential matters fades into irrelevance in the face of personal belief and experience. The cosmos, in its boundless expanse, offers room for a multitude of beliefs and truths, each valid in its own right and each offering its own form of solace or enlightenment.
Existential Beliefs Beyond Right or Wrong
Choosing the belief that brings happiness in the current moment is a celebration of the nexistentialist perspective. It embraces the idea that existence and experience are their own justifications, independent of external truths or absolutes. This choice is a dance with the cosmos, a harmonious alignment with the rhythm of personal truth and joy.
