***** I can no longer see any objective reason to try and be good, to try and do good. By every objective measure not me or anyone else is going to help move the world in a better direction. We have so morally degenerated any massive change, any significant minor change, is objectively beyond hope. I would rather die then not try to be good, and to try and do good. This is so, for me, not because I believe in some life after this, or some sentient creator of us all. I adamantly believe in neither of those life destroying, all of creation destroying, fantasies. I simply crave the intrinsic gratification of attempting to be good, and attempting to do good. I believe that any of the joyful people throughout history, all of our moral icons throughout history, if they understood and had the benefit of today's science, psychology, and the wisdom of the ages, would etirely and profoundly agree with this position at which I have arrived regarding doing good for the ultimate, supreme, intrinsic joy of the attempt . If you love yourself, if there is anyone or anything on earth that you love, I implore you to consider deeply, from the standpoint of objective truth, that which I am saying, to do the same with your life, for yourself, and for anyone and everyone, any individual, that you might possibly have influence with.
