Thoughts To Provoke Your Thoughts

Happiness Behind the Power of Thought

Reason, Observation and Experience — the Holy Trinity of Science — have taught us that happiness is the only good; that the time to be happy is now, and the way to be happy is to make others so. This is enough for us. In this belief we are content to live and die. If by any possibility the existence of a power superior to, and independent of, nature shall be demonstrated, there will then be time enough to kneel. Until then, let us stand erect.  - - -

Robert G. Ingersoll

In the meantime, schools, colleges, and universities are sick places where we are taught to believe that happiness can only achieved after death with a superior being in heaven. So how come, like damned frightened saps, everybody wants to go to heaven, but nobody wants to die? Moreover, how come nobody knows, not even the great theologians of God know where heaven is exactly located or precisely situated in the universe out there?

For my part, as an atheist, I'd rather stand up to the power of thought. They are the main causes of growth and development. I do not care to believe by kneeling down here - specially to supernatural Jerk existing mysteriously up there! I do not care to be known as a happy man with answers; I'd rather be popular as a brave man with questions!
Indeed, questions are far more precious than the answers because, in time, the answers become worthless, if not obsolete. - - - Poch Suzara
