When a person understands the majesty of the evolved human consciousness, life in the cosmos becomes far more "spiritual". All things must pass. I treasure my time with loved ones far more than those who believe they will meet again.
A limited life should be spent enjoying the short time you have, sharing love, helping others, and making the world a better place because you were in it.
I believe that atheism / secular humanism is the next phase of human evolution. We must used education to enlighten so that everyone can realize that religion is just modern mythology.
We need to re-think how our human activities, technology and appetite for growth, affects our environment and all animal and plant life that sustains the human race. We are as much dependent on sustaining; for example the needs of the honey bee, as the honey bee sustains us.
Globalization has demonstrated the world's people have become increasingly dependent on each other. We must re-think the selfish notion of my well-being to our well-being; otherwise, eventually everyone's well-being is in jeopardy.
