If
you believe that there is an afterlife. If you believe that paradise or hell
awaits after this life. If you believe there is no God, no Angel no Gabriel
…..is it necessary to tell others of your beliefs…for after all there are just
your beliefs and others have theirs.
I
cannot understand this need to ask others to pray and do good on this earth so
that their afterlife will be good. Surely you yourself will have enough to do
to make sure your afterlife is good without worrying about others. Please for
all those of you who are concern about what awaits me after this life I ask
that you do not worry too much about me. And for those that besiege God to show
me the right path to wherever it is they want me to go may I suggest that you
first think about asking God to ensure that you are already on the path of
righteousness.
I
am not lost and neither am I unsure of what awaits me. Death awaits me. As
death awaits all Christians, all Muslims, all Jews …all of us. And what comes
after death is something each and every one of us will have to work out for his
and her self. I have my thoughts and so have others and I am sure we differ. Do
not at any moment think that what you believe in is the truth and nothing but
the truth. There are too many “others” with different religion, different
beliefs, different understanding of life to make just your beliefs to be the
right one.
Long
ago I realized that there are good Christians and bad Christians. Good Muslims
and bad Muslims. No one religion has a monopoly on goodness or evil. Let others
live their life their way and you live yours your way. Find peace yourself and
do not go around telling others how to find their peace…not unless that is how
you earn your living and getting well paid for doing so.
By
now there will be some of you fully convinced that I am an atheist and in need
of “guidance”. What ever I am is really my concern and my concern alone. Do not
try to second guess what is in my head for my thoughts meanders relentlessly in
directions I myself am unaware of. I am at peace with myself. Leave me alone.
