You get to consciously decide what has meaning and what doesn’t. You get to decide what to worship. Because here’s something else that’s true. In the day-to-day trenches of adult life, there is no such thing as atheism. There is no such thing as not worshipping. Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And an outstanding reason for choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worship - be it JC or Allah, be it Yahweh or the Wiccan mother-goddess or the Four Noble Truths or some infrangible set of ethical principles - is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive.
I grant you, it seems 80% of my posts lately are just me advocating you read something else I am obsessed with, but really… read this too. This one’s online and short and perfect. I promise to be more abrasively witty soon.
