I'm not invested in whether or not the world will end per the Mayan calandar on 12=21-12. I'm not invested in this life, so why would I care? Why does anyone care? We won't be there to know if the world ends, now, will we?
Unless there's a big bad terrible Other world. Ah, there's the rub. It was the rub then and it's the rub now. But what could be worse than this world? So say some. I don't buy that the world is so terrible. I mean, no more terrible than it's ever been. Holocausts, hatred, violence, illness, flesh falling from bones. Why did Christianity take root so well?
It can be whatever you want it to be. Authoritarian, liberal, self-centered, other-centered. Pagan rituals given saintly reasons. Flexibility. Is also why it's evil. Too flexible. too easy to call yourself a christian. Should have more stringent entry requirements.
Kindness. Love your neighbor, but do not covet his wife. Well, what if I love his wife? When 50 % of the married population chooses divorce, you can't really rule against it and expect to stay a religion peeps will invest in.
Focus on the wrong stuff.
Yes, Anna, you do.
What is right stuff?
Your fucking book.
There are a zillion different heads out there and one head is one world the world you live in is created by you and if you don't like your choices you can always change them you have the power to do this it is of course up to you whether you enjoy being miserable or would rather actually be happy in order to be able to do this you must know what happy means to you. Ask yourself What do I really want for myself?
