Lately I've been examiing everything (lately? Hmmm maybe always).
These days it's my conclusion that a happy and healthy life requires a 'belief' or 'understanding' of 'something' bigger than yourself.
I think this goes for all poeple, all faith, all philosophies.
A 'Big Picture' if you will.
Even if that Big Picture means you are your own God and that's your path, or that you are an aminal that will die and perish one day - The end.
People need a Goal, A Belief, A philosophy or outlook that keeps them from biting a bullet.
At the end of the day self indulgent hedonism does not provide a lasting existence and eventually becomes hollow and ash in the mouth. It's only a temporary pleasure
I know this sounds obvious to a lot of people, but having gone through so much nihilistic depression I've realised how foolish it is to abandon all paradigms.
