Why not live this life, the one you know you are experiencing to it's best and fullest?


i would think that all (or the most) any of us can do, and achieve is to live up to our full potential as closely as we can. that is, we were all dealt a hand of cards so to speak. the best we can do is play our hand to the best of our ability. and that kind of assumes there's an in-built or underlying morality of sorts that comes with the human design.

to simplify, one can just allow chance, risk, randomness or god decide the outcome for us, thus freeing us from having to worry about minutiae.
