Basics

Your parents screw, you begin as two cells, sperm and egg, growing into the multicellular marvel that is you today (adults have an average of 30 trillion cells, according to recent research).  You die, and your bones turn to dust.  You were here, then gone.   You lived and died.   What you did with your life is unimportant, irrelevant, and forgotten.  All things pass, into oblivion.  Nothing matters.  There are no Gods or afterlives.  No heaven or hell.  You are just a body, growing older daily, without self.  Each day, closer to death.  And, despite all this, it is in your power to be happy.  

Fun things to do before you die?  Learn to swim, to read, to cook, to fight….  Go to different countries, restaurants, movies.   Go hiking, camping, surfing, skiing.   Have a job where you excel and have fun and earn bank.   Fall in love and raise a family.  Be good, and be God.  Make lots of friends, and laugh a lot.  Have few enemies, and stay out of prison.  Walk a dog and toss a frisbee.  Improve your body, and look good, feel good.  Stay informed and vote.  Make the world a better place.   Plant trees, donate books to prison libraries, ensure the entire globe has basic needs like clean water, access to free libraries / internet,  food shelter and clothing, and sanitation.  Love each other.  Enjoy poetry, dance, music, plays, books, lifelong learning, and comedy, tv, entertainment, sports.  Meditate and do nothing at all.  Be enlightened, and share wisdom, set an example, be happy!

Be sad, if you like, of course.  You don’t have to be anything.  Authentic is good.  But phony isn’t bad, either.  Write a book.  Express yourself.  Improve yourself, improve the world, and die well, satisfied and content with a life well-lived, without regrets.  Maybe you want to try drugs.   Or be bad.  Do what you gotta do.  Accept consequences, karma, justice.  Life is hell, sometimes.   Try all religions, and learn the wisdom of the ages, for bliss, virtue, and maybe even enlightenment.  Peace be with you.   Have a nice day.   May the force be with you.  Go with God.  Live long and prosper.  Go forth to love and serve the lord.  Eat, drink, and be merry.   Love all, serve all.  Stop complaining, work hard, put passion over profit, stay curious my friend.  Be kind.  Be nice to people, and other living things.  Life is good.
