Those who believe in religion and an afterlife often deny themselves the good stuff they can enjoy in this life so that they can get better things in the next. Now for argument’s sake, let’s imagine that there’s a God who did in fact, create all that we see. Now also imagine yourself at home cooking a great meal with the best ingredients for your friends. Wouldn’t you be happiest if they finished every last bit of the meal? So if God did create everything around us, don’t you think God would be happiest if we enjoyed every second of our lives and the world around us?
So enjoy your lives my friends – enjoy every little thing that makes you happy and don’t waste it trying to fit into the virtuous straitjacket that society expects you to put on.
As Benjamin Franklin said.. “One today is worth two tomorrows“
