change

you are not forever and knowing that, scares you. so you concoct various belief systems that at best alleviate your insecurity, which is basically what religion is all about. abridging all the rituals and customs of any one, what you get is one pivotal belief, that you possess a soul, an essence which will remain, even after you won't and will move on to another set of
dimensions; for which you really don't have any proof. but you forget one simple and beautiful thing which is so obvious and ubiquitous, that your actions, the change you bring to this plane of existence is forever etched on the times and in the lives of all those who are present and all those who will be here in the future. whether its love you spread or hate, goodwill, charity and brotherhood or fear, sadness and pain, indifference perhaps; your thoughts your opinions and
whatever you choose to give to this world will change it and that change will always remain here, its effect will be seen in what is to come. that is all what will be granted to you as a substitute for immortality, of which you can absolutely be sure of. everything else is just wishful thinking, dreams, illusions, fed-fallacies.
