Choosing to continue to live in a fairy tale in the face of Reality

Choosing To Continue. I attended my sister’s funeral on February 15, 2020. The most annoying aspect of the funeral service was the preacher’s lip offs about God and Jesus. My sister’s lifeless body lay before them. It served as definitive evidence that the things they were saying about God and Jesus are pure, petrified nonsense.

Reality was hard before their faces. The speakers willfully chose to ignore it. They advocated fairy tales that I am sure we all have heard. I will not bother to mention them. Hearing the tales of this land of make-believe at that time was troubling. Nonetheless, I endured it because I knew they were taught these lies from childhood and did not know any better.

My other sister was sitting beside me. The discussion about a nonexistent God and Jesus continued relentlessly. I leaned over and quietly asked her not to put me through this. My sister nodded her head in confirmation of my plea, which I hope that she meant.

Choosing to live in a fantasy robs a person of commonsense. Believing something without trying to find out if it is true or not is a form of stupidity. Living your life based on some form of imaginary reward at death is like being dead before you physically die. Reality says that I have not the slightest clue of what death is because life is my only experience. This unknown generates fear and anxiety. This fear and anxiety create a need to escape. People want to fly away into mythical hope. They also seek faith.

I died at the instant of my conception. In that instant, my mind became my tomb. My body became my grave. My hell and heaven are within me. So, what do fabricated entities have to do with me? Why is someone whom I love tormented with someone else brain-drift when she is incapable of speaking for herself?

The fairy story carries more weight in some people’s minds. It outweighs truth, realism, and simply thinking for themselves. With that, I will try to close my eyes. I hope to sleep. If this sleep places me into another realm of existence, then so it is.
