Another post in the hub about how depressing life must be as an atheist. "Life Without Meaning." "Death and then nothingness." All the same old crap. I just don't get it. I have been lucky to be alive. I have enjoyed my life. I can not even list all the experiences I have had, the places I have been, the people I have met, the things I have done, the amazing sites I have seen (Though I am envious of Tin Man. I have never stood on the lip of a volcano and gazed across a lake of lava. I have been to the highest peak in the Italian Alps and looked out across the sea of mountains, I have walked the streets of Pompei with Mt. Vesuvias smoking in the background, I have stood on the great wall, walked the streets of Shanghai, and so much more. My bucket list includes jumping from a plane and visiting Ankor Watt currently. I'm losing weight now for the jump and Ankor Watt happens in February. When it is all said and done... the only thing I feel is lucky for being here and being able to do all that I have done. When it's over, I will happily wave goodbye and say "Thanks for all the fish." For now... there is too much to do to worry about something no one knows anything at all about.
What do you think? I will not be stupid and say something like "What is the atheist view of death." We will all meet death in our own way. If my quality of life diminishes to a point where I am no longer happy - Euthanasia is my friend. I don't want to die piece by piece like so many peoople do in the Nursing home system of America. Just let me go. I am happy to do so when my time comes. For now, I am busy living.
