Is this it?
I've been doing a bit of thinking recently...and I came up with this question. Is this it? And what if it is?
By that, I mean these basic assumptions:
-there is no heaven, hell, nirvana, paradise, reincarnation, afterlife. period.
-there is no 'higher purpose' for us
-there is no God, Allah, higher power, Emersonian Oversoul, Great Spirit or anything related otherwise.
What I'm trying to get at is what if this life is the only life we'll ever have and thats it. Once we're dead thats it. Our consciousness and intellect expires and our physical bodies break down. And that we're not here for a reason. We're merely the product of a lot of time and some basic physical laws.
It seems very plausible. Just take Occam's Razor and use it for everything we (generally) believe in.
I realize that this is COMPLETELY absurd to most people. But try to imagine. Are there more assumptions I'm missing? Does this scare anyone?
