Now, im not a big fan of any of the religions out there. But in a moment of deep philisophical thinking one day, i came up with the following.
...If indeed there is a god, and there is a heaven and there is a hell. Whats to say that we are not currently in Heaven and in Hell at the same time, and its just not all that its cracked up to be. Whos to say that "Heaven" and "Hell" aren't just metaphysical states of mind that we constantly flicker througout our messy lives...
Karl Popper, the great philosopher of science, once divided the world into two categories: clocks and clouds. Clocks are neat, orderly systems that can be solved through reduction; clouds are an epistemic mess, “highly irregular, disorderly, and more or less unpredictable.” The mistake of modern science is to pretend that everything is a clock, which is why we get seduced again and again by the false promises of brain scanners and gene sequencers. We want to believe we will understand nature if we find the exact right tool to cut its joints. But that approach is doomed to failure. We live in a universe not of clocks but of clouds.
The mistake that many people make is that they believe their life is a clock, set in motion by The Allmighty.
What if we are all just clouds, and there is no meaning to our existiance. We simply exist just because we exist, and thats all there is to it. There is no "purpose" for your life and you decide who you want to be and how you wish to live your life.
