As long as a population can be
induced to believe in a
supernatural hereafter, it can be
oppressed and controlled. People
will put up with all sorts of
tyranny, poverty, and painful
treatment if they're convinced
that they'll eventually escape to
some resort in the sky where
lifeguards are superfluous and
the pool never closes. Moreover,
the faithful are usually willing to
risk their skins in whatever
military adventure their
government may currently be
promoting.

Sometimes I ask “What’s the point of life if all we do is live to die” and then I realize that’s exactly the point. We were born into this world, and no matter what, we can’t stop the fact that this life does indeed end. But what matters the most is the time span between the day when you were born and the day you die. And as you’re lying there in your death bed you wonder…. you wonder “was it all worth it?” and I hope to God that everyone’s answer is “yes.” Because that’s the purpose of life. |
It is not power that corrupts but
fear. Fear of losing power
corrupts those who wield it and
fear of the scourge of power
corrupts those who are subject to
it. #my_opinion_tho.
This is my platform argue on
yours. |
