A Moral Code

"And in the end they shall all see their true forms and it will scare them to know that what they hated the most is what they have eventually become"

We all will have to die eventually. The question about how much of a good time we have spent on the planet will probably not matter when we decide to let go of our existence for a better or worse place (depending on whatever God you choose to believe in). Sadly, the truth might even be more shocking than we choose to believe. What if, there really is no concept of forgiveness? What if, you only had one chance to be a good person and it passed you by when you were two years old and squashed an insect or willingly destroyed something of value to your parents? What if you woke up when you were ten went to school and picked on the smaller kid simply because "everyone" was doing it? But we try not to think of these things when we look at our fate in the after-life or lack thereof simply because we are conditioned to believe that there is always a loophole that saves us from death.

Every religion I know on the planet has a concept of death and what we are supposed to receive in the after-life. Popular scientific theories say that when we die we just lose our energy and it is converted into some other form of energy and used by nature. I would like to say that I believe more in that theory than anything else. The only reason we fear death the most is because of the societal rubbish that is fed to us when we are younger. You shouldn't steal because its bad. Sure, but what if your life or your loved one's life depended on it? What if you were able to save someone's life as a result and you did it anyways? Does the law permit these so-called crimes simply because we are looking out for the one thing everyone really forgets when these crimes are committed? Humanity.

Of course a world without order will only trend towards chaos and that is totally unacceptable simply because we cannot exist in a world which does not allow us the small allowances of control we really crave for. Take for example my current situation that I have aptly named Shameful Water. I live in a building where we get water for approximately three hours everyday. Most people would laugh and say that is quite a silly situation to bring in when you talk about moral conduct and the underlying fact that living a good life is your ultimate goal to some faux-xanadu that none of us have ever seen nor will anyone else for that matter. People do not actually utilize the water that is given to them when they need it but actually hoard it to the point where people that have paid for it can no longer get it. Seems like a simple act of survival but at the most basic level, its a struggle between good and bad. Sadly, I live in a building with a very diverse set of religious beliefs and I am now quite sure of the fact that everyone has ditched their religious beliefs to hoard water simply because they choose to be selfish or because their children or loved ones are more important than the morals they will eventually preach to someone else.

In the end, we will all die and when we do I for one truly believe that we won't see a god or anything of the sort. The lights will go out and that's it. No more light, no more sound, no more touch and certainly no more stress. What happens after that is pretty simple; your loved ones will cry, throw a funeral and forget about you in their daily lives within the 365 day mark because they have to deal with other things for their own survival. Do I feel a sense of sadness because of this? No. Why? Because its true human nature. So the next time someone tells you something is wrong, ask yourself this question, what have I really done wrong? If you find yourself straying towards religion I wish you good luck and instead, if you find yourself straying towards pure logic, then I wish the world around you the best of luck.
