Everybody dies. And whether you measure against a Christian eternity or a Darwinistic span of billions of years, the longest life is but a puff of smoke. Of that, there can be no debate. But there is only one hope for seeing those loved ones again.
Hope is irrelevant to truth.
It is not irrelevant to life. Why such an unmitigated need to destroy it? To knowingly and purposelessly destroy it is evil. What virtue is there in being a missionary of despair and nihilism when you have no better truth? To pursue such endeavors, IMO bespeaks deep personal issues. just sayin.
In trading we say "Hope is not a strategy". Hoping a stock is going to go up, doesn't make it go up. It's going to do what it's going to do and the best thing you can do is make your decisions based upon the best data available. Unrealistic hopes are seldom helpful and can lead to some bad places. Accepting that we have a finite life and working to live THIS life to its' best and fullest is not nihilism and despair but an appreciation for what we have here and now, and not suffering the paradise lost of a paradise that does not exist.
