Re: Oppressed Nerd Mentality

You make a fantastic point.

Perhaps I could sum it up this way:

In this life, you are born, you live, then you die, and whatever happens beyond that is anyone's guess.

So, I suggest that people live this life so that they are not too attached to earthly things when they die.

And try not to work yourself to your death. Live and let live. In the process, don't screw up anybody else's lives.

One more thought: why be materialistic when everything material on this earth eventually goes away? Why not hope for something everlasting, or eternal?

-Joe
