THE rule for a good sequel is that it ups the precedent .
How liberating it would be to consider and be convinced that this life is all there is . That all human animals last from the moment of conception to the moment of death . We give ourselves some choices of shaping our thoughts to better understand who we are , and only from there can we think about how we should live .
Let's try imagining or supposing that god exist , the omnipotent , omniscient capable of everything , in brief the most perfect god . We believe that such a god exists only because we think of him , thus he ought to exist . We need his existence as he needs ours .
Now let's reverse the game , and imagine that we exist only in god's mind , or maybe as a dream of his , then the whole question of our existence and our independence and power of free thinking in the universe would come to be a total illusion . Remember he is capable of everything , and so we are .
Such possibilities would change the whole life and death formula , the question of existence and nothingness into a simpler way , simpler explanations are always better and more practical than complex answers and theorems .
The future is not fixed as most religious people believe , the future and its history are there to be made , for us to shape . The selfless among us are at an extreme , and some are already giving all that they can , and that's why we can never have an ultimate explanation , as both us and him put some serious limitations on our imagination and capabilities .
Very elegantly Queen Victoria in a letter to her grand daughter back in 1883 said : " I would earnestly warn you against trying to find out the reason for and explanation of everything .... to try and find out the reason for everything is very dangerous and leads to nothing but disappointment and dissatisfaction , unsettling your mind and in the end making you miserable ."
My usual thanks and admiration for all my readers , for their infinite patience with my ideas and writings , salamat.
