What if we changed the story that has been peddled to us over thousands of years by those religions that want to control us, that this life is merely a stepping stone to something better or something worse, and that we can only achieve the better by passing through the doors of their institutions and following their rules? What if we trash this arcane story which has caused so much suffering and hostility, and accept that we have already arrived in heaven and that there is nothing more gorgeous than here and now? .

About This Quote

I believe the world would be a better place if people stopped believing in an afterlife. There are so many people already living their lives to the fullest and feeling all of their emotions, they don't need to be living with the fear of what might happen after they die. Living in the moment is what makes life worth living.
